Spending time in this tranquil space, listening to the sound of water and the chirping of birds, is a blissful moment that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. Even if you are not familiar with the etiquette of the tea ceremony, the staff will welcome you kindly, making it a healing spot where even international tourists touching Japanese culture for the first time can experience the “Spirit of Harmony” (Wa no Kokoro) with peace of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
