Summer Tea Ceremony (August 11, 2023)

I visited the Antique Shop which carries out Tea Ceremony with the antique bowls you choose with a lovely couple from California. The bowls will change monthly, and some are hundreds of years old.


I chose a bowl produced in Kyoto in 1955.  I liked the Morning Glory design and decided to buy it.  It was 5500 yen.
The sweets will change according to the seasons.  Would you try the tea ceremony, too?

Tokyo Up-to-You Tour

Tokyo
8 hours

I recommend ending up the day with the night view of the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, the most beautiful night view in Tokyo I would like you to see. We will visit the spots you would like to in Tokyo.I will make an itinerary based on your choices and requests. (The popular highlights will be Meiji Jingu Shrine, East Gardens and Asakusa with Nakamise Souvenir Shopping Streets.) Sightseeing spots in Tokyo is widely spread, so I guess we can only visit three or four spots a day.

Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour

Mount Fuji
10 hours

Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
