This team bonding activity package includes the following experiences

1. Japanese Tea Ceremony for Team Bonding

We are ranked as the best tea ceremony venue in Japan by Tripadvisor and we are happy to integrate this unique experience to your team building activity. This is a traditional way of drinking Japanese matcha tea and learning about the zen, harmony and tranquility. Each member makes his/her own tea after watching the demonstrations by the host.

2. Team Building Ken-dama 

The teams can show the skill and coordination of their individual members during the ken-dama (cup and ball) activity. After some brief instructions and a demonstration by the Maikoya staff, members from each team compete to be the first to successfully perform a basic ken-dama move.

3. Team Building Origami Challenge

In this activity, each team competes to make folded paper in a unique form. This is a great way for teams to learn the value of encouraging other members and sharing the things they know. Origami is also taught at Japanese schools to teach the importance f time management, waiting all the way to the end, using resources skillfully and turning simple things into meaningful treasures. This is a team challenge so they have to make the figures as a team.

4. Wagashi and Confectionary Making Activity

Everyone learns how to make wagashi (or nerikiri), which is a traditional Japanese confectionary usually served with green tea. After each person learns the basics of making and shaping these treats, teams are given dough in three colors. The goal is to shape the confections into scenes that tell a story. The team with the most creative design wins.

Most of these group activities were held more than 2 years ago, currently all of our group experiences are held by strictly observing social distancing guidelines.

Taiko Drum Playing Challenge
Taiko drums are a fun way to build team bonding and learn about Japanese culture. Generally, it costs a significant amount of money and time to train everyone with huge taiko drums. We use small taiko drums which still sound similar but cost way lower, easy to carry around and can be done with big teams. Each team member is given a taiko drum and teams that play the sample Japanese rhythms after a practice win the challenge. Teams are also given a chance to create their own team’s unique rhytm.
