VISIT KANAZAWA, JAPAN - Official Travel Guide

The Kanazawa Art Club's “Tsukigama（月釜）” (monthly tea ceremony) began in April 2026. 

“Tsukigama（月釜）” refers to a tea ceremony held every month. 

Compared to formal tea ceremonies and gatherings, “Tsukigama（月釜）” is a more casual tea ceremony. 

The hosts are diverse, including tea masters, art collectors, and art dealers. 

Please enjoy a cup of matcha tea and traditional Japanese sweets while listening to the host's conversation. 

We hope you enjoy this moment of Kanazawa's tea ceremony.
