About this tour
Step into a traditional wooden house on Tokyo shrine grounds, six minutes from Tokyo Station, for an intimate encounter with classical Japanese hospitality. Choose from three tiers: a quick matcha-and-sweets session, a hearty local clam-rice lunch with dance, or a full kaiseki dinner paired with geisha performance and interactive arts. Each experience unfolds in an authentic ozashiki setting where a resident dance master and performers guide you through time-honoured traditions.

What to expect
You'll be welcomed into a tatami-matted room where formality melts into genuine hospitality. The shortest tier gets you quality matcha preparation and a souvenir sweet. The mid-tier includes Fukagawa-meshi (rice simmered with clams and broth, a local specialty) alongside an ozashiki performance where a dance headmaster demonstrates classical movement. The premium 2-hour experience begins with optional kimono fitting, then moves into a full kaiseki sequence while geishas perform, teach shamisen basics, and invite you into traditional parlour games. All tiers end with a keepsake.
