We are fortunate enough to have been allowed to bring a limited number of guests to visit this special tea house, normally open through referrals or to VIP guests.
Sadō, or Japanese tea ceremony, is widely regarded as one of Japan’s most valued artistic traditions, and has had prominent influence on other elements of Japanese culture. Experiencing Sadō through this tea house will introduce you to this unique tradition in its purest form.

You will have the honor of being hosted by the tea house master, who has had experience in hosting tea ceremonies for over sixty years. To fully appreciate the tea’s flavor, you will first enjoy a full-course Kaiseki meal (traditional upperclass Japanese cuisine). This will be served with sake, followed by okashi, a type of Japanese confectionary, after which you will receive your tea in ceremonial style.

Please also enjoy the dishware, the interior, and seasonal flowers which the master will customize according to the guests' preference and profile.

This ceremony has come to transcend the simple act of drinking tea, and now represents a means of creating aesthetic appreciation and social interaction, and combines elements of Japanese culture including art, architecture, gardens, cuisine, and philosophy.
