Touching the Depth
of Japanese Culture
Tōka-an is a quiet space where guests discover the depth of Japanese culture through movement, kimono, and matcha. Sessions are by reservation only and limited to small groups, with every gesture and its meaning shared with care.

Tōka-an & Experiences
Concept
To wear a kimono.
To hold a tea bowl.
To breathe in the scent of matcha.
To savor a moment of stillness.
Tōka-an is a quiet space in Uji where guests can discover the depth of Japanese culture
through a tea ceremony experience, kimono, and more.
Here, we place great importance on allowing guests to feel the atmosphere and sensibility of
Japanese culture through the body itself.
To wear a kimono.
To hold a tea bowl.
To breathe in the scent of matcha.
To savor a moment of stillness.
It is our hope that through these experiences, guests come away having touched something of
the true depth of Japanese culture.
We hope Tōka-an can serve as a small doorway into the unhurried world of Uji and the depth
of Japanese culture.

Location
Quietly nestled in Uji,
a town long defined by tea.
From a small tearoom overlooking the Uji River — a moment of stillness, shared.
Attire, craftsmanship, and a quiet cup of tea.
A space to slow down, and simply feel.
To dress. To create. To prepare tea. A place to feel, quietly.
