Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony: Two Venues, Two Admissions

Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum is one of the two venues for Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony. It is an open-air museum with Japanese buildings from different periods of history, so the setting adds a close-up look at historic architecture to your visit 🙂

Participation requires a fee, and the museum is reached by bus from Musashi-Koganei Station, followed by a walk from the Koganei Park West Gate. If this is your pick, check the museum route before you leave so you know where to get off.

The other venue is Hama-rikyu Gardens, a second setting for the event. Would you choose historic buildings or a garden: which one feels more like your tea stop? The venue choice gives you a clear place to start 👌

Participation requires a fee here too, and Hama-rikyu Gardens charges a separate entrance fee. You can walk from Shiodome or Tsukijishijo stations, or from Shimbashi Station; allow for both the event fee and garden admission when planning 🤭
