Shimbashi · Tea museum
The story behind the green bottle.
Inside the Old Shimbashi Station building, Ito En’s museum explores Oi Ocha through displays about the familiar tea brand. A small detour brings an everyday Japanese drink into focus.

Look beyond the label
Nine exhibition contents introduce the brand’s ideas and activities. Pair the gallery with the café and shop if you want to continue your tea-themed visit; purchases are additional.
Two museums, different tickets
The same building also houses the Tea Culture Creation Museum, which has a separate admission charge. Free entry to Oi Ocha Museum does not include that museum or paid programmes.
Make time for tea
Check the official experience calendar for bookable sessions, prices and language support. For an unhurried visit, fit the museum into a Shimbashi or Shiodome walk and arrive before the final admission time. Year-end and New Year closures also apply.
