It's not really a ceremony, but rather a ceremonious way of preparing and drinking tea. "Tea Ceremony" is just what we call it in English. In Japanese it's called "The Way of Tea."

How often are Japanese tea ceremonies held?

People in Japan usually have a tea ceremony on special events - Japanese festivals or holidays. Japanese Tea ceremonies are also held daily at Japanese tea gardens - there are a few of them in Tokyo (see http://www.tokyo-top-guide.com/Japanese_Gardens.html). Admission fee to these Japanese tea gardens is very reasonable, and the tea ceremony is a shorter version of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony ritual. If you are coming as a tourist to Tokyo - the Okura hotel also holds a tea ceremony in a private room, this naturally costs more than the Japanese tea gardens.
