Maruyama Area Exploration with Sencha Green Tea Experience

Discover the tranquil beauty of the Maruyama area, a sacred site home to Hokkaido Shrine, before heading to a unique and private experience at a Japanese green tea cafe.

The path leading from Maruyama Park to the shrine is renowned as a soothing, restorative route. Take a moment to absorb the peaceful ambiance and spend some quiet time at the magnificent Hokkaido Shrine in the company of your guide. Following your visit to the shrine, you’ll be led to a secluded “nihoncha cafe” nestled within the residential streets of Maruyama.

This special Sencha green tea experience promises to be truly enriching and special. The knowledgeable tea master will guide you through the traditions and art of brewing authentic green tea, perfectly pairing it with exquisite handmade Japanese sweets crafted by his own family. He will teach you several methods for brewing and pairing green tea, and you will of course try them all yourself!

Once you’ve mastered the technique of preparing a remarkable cup of Sencha, you’ll be equipped for countless comforting tea moments in the future. Upon your return home, we encourage you to share the allure of Sencha green tea by brewing a delicious cup for your loved ones!

After your delightful tea experience, we highly recommend a leisurely walk through the charming Maruyama area. This neighborhood is dotted with quaint confectionery shops offering a tempting array of Japanese sweets such as wagashi, daifuku, and senbei.
