Overview
In Giappone, il tè è molto più di una semplice bevanda. È profondamente legato all'ospitalità, alla consapevolezza e a secoli di tradizione culturale. Questa esperienza combina una passeggiata guidata attraverso gli angoli più tranquilli di Asakusa con una tradizionale cerimonia del tè condotta da un esperto.
Prima della cerimonia, esplorerete santuari nascosti, suggestive vie dello shopping e angoli meno conosciuti dello storico quartiere di Shitamachi. Lungo il percorso, scoprirete usanze locali, tradizioni spirituali e la vita quotidiana al di là dei monumenti più famosi della zona. L'esperienza si conclude con una cerimonia del tè, che offrirà una comprensione più profonda di una delle pratiche culturali più iconiche del Giappone.
