Shea was lovely contacted me with directions an time before hand. My only thing was seating was not on the floor but close. Was difficult for my mother. They assisted with everything so it was a great experience
A very fun boat ride, tea, biscuits, and soda, and fun interactive songs.

My mum and I had a very fun time. I thought that a tea ceremony would be a little serious for a fun holiday, but it was very fun and easy. We had little japanese biscuits and chocolates. There were very fun interactive songs that we listened to live while drinking tea that we made. Making the matcha was very fun and simple, and if any people in your group may not like matcha there is also soda and little biscuits, and a very fun show. Our boat stopped at a very pretty spot in front of tokyo skytree, and we could walk on the top and take pictures. I would absolutely recommend this for families and couples, it’s very fun and easy. Getting onto the boat was also quite easy as they had steps on the boat, and it is only a very easy step.
