Ocha Culture Creation Museum | Oi Ocha Museum — Attraction in Tokyo

The Tea Pet Bottle Making experience was a lot of fun and definitely a highlight of our visit! It was genuinely engaging and educational to see how the famous Oi Ocha bottles are made. However, I have to agree with other reviewers that getting reservations online, even on weekdays, was incredibly difficult. It felt like trying to win a lottery! They really need to streamline that process or offer more slots.

The museum also has a tea shop which is beautifully set up, selling a variety of souvenirs, desserts, and of course, different types of tea drinks. While the selection was good, I found the prices to be very steep across the board. It felt quite pricey for what you were getting, even for a museum gift shop.

Overall, it's an interesting place for tea lovers, especially for the bottle-making experience. Just be prepared for a challenge with reservations and the cost of items...

People were ordering “Drinking Matcha Warabimochi”. They said it is delicious. The menu name is too weird for me, so I ordered Matcha Cream Soda. Macha Latte is not sweet, so you need to add sugar if you...

A tiny tea museum with a paid entry section (500 yen) with a few rooms introducing the history of the tea culture in Japan. It includes a film and a few interactive exhibits. There is also a free section with a small exhibition (currently on the production of pet bottle tea and the use of tea leaves in recycling). A small cafe serves tea and you can also buy tea related souvenirs in the shop. It's very much away from the crowds if you wanted to take a calm break from the city and...
