Tea creates dialogue between people. When you want to have a conversation with someone, it is customary to invite them to have tea, but tea encourages conversation between people and deepens bonds. We Japanese are aware of this. Now, let's focus on tea once again and remember the richness of daily life through dialogue, not conflict. In Japan, a room where people gather together has long been called a "cha-no-ma." We will remind people of the richness of the heart that comes from talking to each other and drinking tea in a space where tea is present. Through something as familiar as tea, we will create an opportunity to think about the feelings of peace in our own hearts and the nature of communication in modern times, where human relationships are becoming weaker. Fukujuen, a long-established tea shop in Kyoto that co-developed the well-known Suntory [Iyemon], will explain the history and value of tea.

Inside Towaryokan, located near Nishi Honganji Temple, there is a tea room called ``Seikaan,'' 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.
