Tokyo Summers Are No Jokes! Beat the Heat with a Cool

Tokyo’s summer heat is no ordinary heat.
The sun blazes like an oven, and the humidity wraps around you like steam — it’s sweltering out there.
To everyone walking around in this intense weather: please be sure to take breaks in cool, air-conditioned places and stay hydrated.

And when it’s this hot, why not enjoy a unique indoor activity at our cozy little salon?

Just a 2-minute walk from Ikenoue Station (only 4 minutes from Shibuya on the local train), our salon is nestled inside a real traditional Japanese house.

Once a private home, our warm and welcoming Japanese-style rooms offer the perfect setting to immerse yourself in authentic Japanese culture.

✨Shodo (Calligraphy) Experience
This is the perfect activity for anyone who loves art, Japanese characters, or hands-on creative experiences.
Using traditional brush and ink, you’ll create meaningful Japanese characters on white paper — a meditative and deeply artistic journey of focus and expression.

✨Sado (Tea Ceremony) Experience
Ideal for matcha lovers!
Sit on tatami mats, enjoy delicious traditional sweets, and drink freshly whisked matcha — a simple way to get a taste of Japanese daily life.

All experiences are lovingly guided in both English and Japanese by a government-certified local guide dressed in kimono.

Reservations can be made via our dedicated booking site.
