As September arrives, we slowly begin to notice signs of autumn in Japan.

Around this time, Japan celebrates Shubun, the Autumnal Equinox. It is the time of year when day and night are nearly equal in length. After the Autumnal Equinox, the nights gradually become longer.

But does that mean summer is completely over?

Not quite!

September in Tokyo can still have some very hot days. You may walk outside one day and feel as if summer is still here. Then, the next day may bring a cool, comfortable breeze that makes you think, “Autumn is finally coming.”

Little by little, the seasons are changing.

Look up at the sky and you may notice different clouds. In the evening, the air may feel cooler. At night, you may even hear the gentle sounds of autumn insects.

Noticing these small changes in nature is one of the beautiful ways Japanese people have traditionally enjoyed the seasons.

Japan has four distinct seasons, and Japanese culture has always placed great importance on appreciating each one.

The Japanese tea ceremony is a wonderful example of this tradition.

Flowers, hanging scrolls, tea bowls, and Japanese sweets can all reflect the season. Even small details are chosen to help guests enjoy the beauty of that particular time of year.

At Wasako, you can experience this Japanese tradition inside the beautiful tatami rooms of Charyo Ichimatsu in Asakusa.

Once you step inside, you can leave the busy streets of Tokyo behind and enjoy a peaceful moment surrounded by traditional Japanese architecture.

Watch your tea host prepare matcha, learn about Japanese tea culture, enjoy seasonal Japanese sweets with freshly prepared matcha, and then try making your own bowl of matcha.

If this is your first tea ceremony, don’t worry! Our friendly staff will guide you through each step.

As summer slowly turns into autumn, this is a wonderful time to experience the Japanese tradition of appreciating the changing seasons.

When you visit Asakusa this fall, come and enjoy a peaceful Japanese tea ceremony with Wasako in the beautiful traditional rooms of Charyo Ichimatsu.

We look forward to welcoming you!
