  [Kyoto Station / Towa Ryokan] Gentle tea party at Seika-an

  

  Inside Towaryokan, located near Nishi Honganji Temple, there is a tea room called Seikaan, which was named after the 16th head master of the Urasenke school. We have set up a gentle and fun tea party experience plan for a limited time, because we want everyone to have a gentle time experience in this quiet and tranquil space.

   

  The tea ceremony has an image of being difficult to enter, but even beginners are welcome! Please feel free to join us! We will carefully guide you through the process while listening to explanations about etiquette when entering the tea room, viewing the beds and flowers, etc. Please relax and take photos while seated.

  Although it is near Kyoto Station, which is busy, it is quiet and gentle...that's how time passes.

  Please feel free to join us for a cultural experience in Kyoto.
