Japanese Tea Tasting near Kiyosumi-Shirakawa and Morishita
Plan a calm, English-guided Japanese tea tasting in downtown Tokyo, close to Morishita Station, Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Ryogoku and the quieter east side of the city.
A calm tea stop in downtown Tokyo
Morishita is local, quiet and easy to add to an east Tokyo day.
ShiZen Tea Experience is held in Morishita, Koto-ku, Tokyo. It is not in a large tourist complex or a busy storefront. The setting is a calm apartment-style tasting room where a small group can sit, compare tea, and ask questions in English.
This makes the location useful for travelers who want something quieter than the busiest central Tokyo areas, while still staying within easy reach of Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Ryogoku, Nihonbashi and Asakusa-side itineraries.
The closest exit is Morishita Station A5 Exit.
The tasting room is at 2-28-3-202 Morishita, Koto-ku, Tokyo. After booking, you receive arrival notes so you can find the building and room 202 without guessing at the door.
