Your Private Tea Ceremony, Tailored to You in Tokyo.
What sets Ichika apart is our commitment to a truly personalized and convenient tea ceremony experience. Unlike fixed locations, we bring the serenity of the tea ritual to a private, traditional tea room within your preferred Tokyo area. Guided entirely in English, our sessions are designed for international visitors seeking an cultural immersion without the logistical hassle. We focus on creating an intimate atmosphere where you can deeply connect with the Way of Tea, ensuring an unforgettable and uniquely Japanese memory.
Building Bridges of Understanding Through the Way of Tea.
Our mission at Ichika is to foster deeper international mutual understanding by sharing the profound beauty and exquisite spiritual culture of Japan through the tea ceremony. We believe that by creating a serene and personal space for cultural exchange, we can offer foreign guests not just an experience, but a meaningful connection to Japanese aesthetics, mindfulness, and hospitality. Our vision is to be a cherished gateway for visitors to explore the rich depths of Japan's traditions, one tranquil tea ceremony at a time.
A Journey of Passion and Cultural Connection.
Ichika was founded from a deep passion for international exchange and a desire to share Japan's captivating culture with the world. The journey began with extensive experience guiding international visitors in various Japanese cultural activities since 2022. Recognizing the unique needs of foreign tourists seeking authentic, accessible experiences, Ichika was conceived to offer private, English-guided tea ceremonies in convenient Tokyo locations. This endeavor builds upon years of hands-on cultural instruction and a continuous dedication to the Urasenke tea ceremony tradition, officially deepening this study since 2024, to bring the most genuine and personal tea experience directly to you.
