Drawing inspiration from Chaji, the most formal tea gathering style, this experience provides a unique chance to deeply connect with the Way of Tea—away from bustling tourist displays. The visit commences in the garden with a simple purification ritual at the tsukubai, followed by entry into the tea room.
Once inside, partake in a meticulously guided ceremony featuring a seasonal Shōkadō bento crafted by a professional chef, a traditional charcoal ceremony, and the preparation and sharing of both thick tea (koicha) and thin tea (usucha). Seasonal sweets, carefully chosen tea utensils, and the tokonoma alcove contribute to an elegant atmosphere grounded in mindfulness and harmony.
This exclusive experience is perfect for guests desiring a peaceful, respectful, and authentic engagement with Japanese culture.
