    Product Info

    • [Popular Program! English Tea Ceremony] At Chihoan, which has an 80-year history in Tokyo's downtown area, we hold a special tea ceremony (English Session) conducted entirely in English. Why not experience Japanese culture in English while enjoying matcha and Japanese sweets in a tea room located in a quiet residential area? This session is conducted and explained in English. It is a small-group practical English conversation event based on an actual cultural experience. This session is perfect for those who have never experienced the tea ceremony before. Even if you are not fluent in English or feel a bit nervous about speaking, don't worry. We will guide you using easy-to-understand words and gestures, and it is perfectly fine to just focus on listening, so please relax and enjoy. [Recommended for] ・Those who want an opportunity to use English ・Those interested in explaining Japanese culture to foreigners ・Those who want to learn how to introduce Japanese culture in English ・Those who love matcha, Japanese sweets, and traditional Japanese culture [Flow of the Day] ・Meet at the venue (5-minute walk from Higashimukojima Station on the Tobu Skytree Line). We will guide you to the tea room. ・Watch the tea being prepared right in front of you, and enjoy sweets and matcha. (Each person will be served 2 seasonal sweets and 2 servings of matcha.) ・We will explain the tools used and the seasonal theme. (Feel free to ask questions if you are interested.) ・After the ceremony, you can take a closer look at the tools. You can enjoy authentic, impressive tools and tea bowls up close, even closer than in a museum. [Other] ・This event is basically conducted in English (daily conversation level), but please rest assured that you can consult with us in Japanese if there is anything you don't understand or if you have any trouble (the staff are Japanese). ・Participants can also converse with each other in English. ・Don't worry if you are not comfortable sitting in the seiza position. We have floor chairs available. You are also welcome to relax your legs! ・Please wear or bring socks. ・There are stairs (with handrails) leading to the tea room. ・Please note that if you arrive late, your service and stay time will be shortened. (Arriving 10 to 5 minutes before the start time will ensure a smooth experience.)
