Enjoy an elegant and festive afternoon tea in the Executive Floor Lounge of the Royal Park Hotel.
Over delicious tea and sweets, we will welcome the New Year together and enjoy a relaxed gathering where everyone can freely share their dreams, future activities, and love of kimono.
Kimono lovers, those who have just started wearing kimono, solo participants, and guests living overseas are all very welcome.
You may join us in either kimono or Western-style clothing.

🍵 Part 2 – Table-Style Japanese Tea Ceremony
16:00–17:30
Experience the world of table-style Japanese tea ceremony in a private room overlooking Tokyo Tower.
While enjoying the city view, take a break from the busyness of everyday life and spend a peaceful, mindful moment immersed in Japanese tea culture.
You will learn how to receive and drink tea, how to use kaishi paper, and the meaning behind tea bowls and various tea utensils.
We will also explore Japanese seasonal expressions and ideas from the Analects of Confucius in an enjoyable and accessible way.
Through a bowl of tea, we hope you will experience the spirit of cherishing the present moment and begin the New Year with a calm and refreshed mind.
No previous tea ceremony experience is required, and there is no need to sit in the traditional seiza position.
We will explain how to receive and enjoy Japanese tea in both Japanese and English.
A script will also be provided on the day.
This session is especially recommended for anyone who has opportunities to introduce Japanese culture to international guests, works in inbound tourism, or would like to learn how to introduce tea ceremony in English.
You are very welcome even if you are not confident in your English.
