Let's enjoy Matcha ＆ Wagashi ! As a personal hobbyist, I'll guide you to my favorite local tea utensil and Japanese confectionery shops in Hiroshima—all long-standing, beloved establishments. You'll personally select the matcha and sweets you'll enjoy during our experience.

The session typically takes place in a rental space (table/chairs). I'll teach you the basics: how to make matcha. Any leftover matcha will be a special souvenir for you to take with you.

Important Notes:
This isn't a traditional tea ceremony held in a Japanese-style tatami room. This tour is perfect for those who want to casually enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets in a relaxed setting.

The tour involves about 1.2 kilometers (approximately 0.75 miles) of walking. Most of this is through covered shopping arcades, making it a perfect activity even on rainy or hot days.

Please be aware that the location may change depending on the availability of the rental space.
