Sky Tea Ceremony: A Unique Experience Above Shibuya

Shibuya is known for its bustling streets and vivid culture, but have you ever considered experiencing it from above? At Shibuya Scramble Square, you can do just that! 229 meters above the ground, with breathtaking views of Tokyo, join us for a unique tea ceremony that ultimately awakens your senses and helps you discover your personal aesthetic perspective known as “mitate.”

What is “Mitate”?

“Mitate” is a traditional Japanese expression technique that reflects one’s unique perception of objects. Through this program curated by ceramic artist and tea master Yamada Shota, participants will use sight, touch, and taste as they explore their own interpretations of beauty by selecting a tea bowl and participating in the tea ceremony.

An Exclusive Experience

This event is not just about drinking tea; it’s about creating a deep connection with the experience. With just 15 spots available, attendees can expect an intimate setting where the overwhelming sense of openness at this height fosters self-reflection and tranquility.

On select dates - October 12th, 13th, and 19th - participants will gather at 7:45 AM for the unique morning experience, which runs from 8:00 to 9:40 AM. As you gather at the impressive venue on the 46th floor, enjoy the feeling of being suspended in the sky as you delve into the world of tea.
