For Classroom Owners
Ready to list your classroom?
Chaen is a search and booking platform built specifically for tea ceremony classrooms. Listing is free,
and it costs nothing to stop. Let us introduce your classroom to people who want to learn tea ceremony.
Online payment fee
8%
Applies to online payments for bookings, monthly tuition, and lesson passes
On-site payment fee
0%
Bookings paid directly at the classroom
Setup & cancellation fees
JPY 0
None on any plan — cancel anytime
Example: for a JPY 3,000 lesson paid online, you receive JPY 2,760. Paid on-site, you keep JPY 3,000.
* Fees are the same for both the Free and Premium plans. Listing is free, and the 8% online payment fee covers everything: helping students find you (search and your classroom page), booking management, payment processing, and automatic notifications. Services that only handle payment processing cover a narrower scope. The fee is a percentage of the payment amount (tax included); no additional consumption tax is added on top.
