Tea-ceremony House

The tea ceremony began in medieval Japan as a way to entertain guests, and developed mainly among the aristocrats and samurai of the time. It is a good opportunity to cherish the spirit of hospitality for guests and to have a dialogue with your own heart during the process of making tea.
Nowadays, you can experience tea culture in many places, so if you find a tea room, please stop by.

There are many different styles of tea rooms, but most have a sunken hearth for boiling water.

Guests enter through this small entrance. Even people of high social status are required to bow their heads before entering, which symbolizes that everyone is equal in the tea ceremony room.
