Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2026 (Hama-rikyu Gardens)
Experience Japan’s traditional culture in Tokyo’s gardens at “Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2026”
“Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2026” will be held at Hama-rikyu Gardens on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1. The Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony features various tea gatherings across different schools of tea. At Hama-rikyu Gardens, there will be indoor “Tea Ceremony Sessions,” casual outdoor “Nodate,” “Nodate in English” with interpretation, and “High School Nodate” hosted by Tokyo metropolitan high school students.
Each program lasts about 20–25 minutes per session, and the participation fee is 800 yen per person.
Enjoy a tea ceremony experience in Tokyo’s gardens
Experience the tea ceremony in an indoor tearoom
The indoor “Tea Ceremony Sessions” are programs that even first-time participants can enjoy with ease.
Venues include “Nakajima-no-Ochaya” and “Hobai-tei.” At Hobai-tei, some sessions also offer sign language interpretation.
Casual outdoor “Nodate”
“Nodate” is an outdoor tea gathering that welcomes participants with no prior tea ceremony experience. At Nodate II, some sessions also provide sign language interpretation.
In addition, “Nodate in English” offers English interpretation, allowing visitors from overseas to experience Japan’s tea culture.
Nodate by high school students
In “High School Nodate,” students from tea ceremony clubs at Tokyo metropolitan high schools will serve tea outdoors.
Join easily with same-day tickets
Starting in 2026, all “Tea Ceremony Sessions” and “Nodate” at Hama-rikyu Gardens can be joined with same-day tickets.
There is no advance application or lottery; purchase your participation ticket at the venue on the day. Sales end once each session reaches capacity, so we recommend arriving with plenty of time if you wish to participate.
Please note that participation in the Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony requires a separate admission fee to Hama-rikyu Gardens.
