About the Instructor:

First degree instructor Mika Soka Haneishi is the owner Shizu-Kokoro, an internationally acclaimed chado school licensed from Urasenke Chado School in Kyoto.

“This is not tourism— but rather an immersion in culture.”

Mark Edward Harris, Better Magazine.

About Chado:

Chado, a tea ceremony that has roots in Zen, was established in Japan more than 400 years ago. A tea room is a space in which people experience mindfulness, and the tea making process provides spiritual discipline and a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.

Please note that the tea room is located on the second floor. Since the house is an old Japanese style building built in 1940s, the staircase is very steep. Unfortunately, we are not equipped guests with machinery to assist going up.

Since this is an old Japanese house built in 1940s, there is a certain weight capacity. Despite the number of people we indicated (8 people), there might be a situation that we may ask your group to change the time schedule in order to balance the weight limitation for your safety. Please let us know if you would like to discuss this further by email

This was a really cool experience. The only thing is that we had trouble finding it so I messaged, called, and emailed the contact person and never got a response. We finally found it, but 10 minutes late into the tour so we missed a dessert and one of the teas which was pretty disappointing. Other than that, it was tasty and really interesting to learn about the history.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the tea ceremony! It was such a beautiful and calming experience from start to finish. We learned so much about matcha, tea, and the philosophy of Chado — and left with a whole new appreciation for the art behind it. Our instructor was incredibly kind, welcoming, and a joy to talk with. The tea room itself was serene and beautifully simple, setting the perfect atmosphere. Watching our instructor’s graceful, deliberate movements during the ceremony was almost hypnotic — every motion felt meaningful. The tea and matcha were some of the best we’ve ever had, and we left feeling peaceful and inspired. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves tea, matcha, or simply wants to immerse themselves in something truly authentic and special.
Very enjoyable.

We all really enjoyed the ceremony. It was maybe a bit more educational then I expected, but it was still a great experience.

An excellent experience, the instructor speaks English so it is easy to follow, the whole ceremony itself is a moment of relaxation and learning worth performing. Fully recommended if you are in Tokyo.
Grounding experience.

Mika was an excellent host who is clearly extremely knowledgeable. The entire 90minute experience was well planned. Very informative. The information we received during this experience added to our understanding of items we saw related to Japan tea ceremonies in museums and elsewhere.
