Night Tea Ceremony Experience – Yobanashi In this tea ceremony experience, you can discover the world of “Yobanashi”, a unique style that can only be enjoyed here. “Yobanashi” refers to a tea gathering held at night. In this experience, you will step into a dimly lit room wrapped in deep darkness, where the space is enclosed by dark curtains and illuminated only by the gentle flicker of candlelight. This serene and mysterious atmosphere invites you to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the “Yobanashi” tea ceremony. Step away from the noise of everyday life, calm your mind, and take a moment to quietly reflect within yourself. Just a 3-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, and conveniently located near major sightseeing spots, it’s the perfect place to stop by and take a relaxing break during your journey. In this peaceful environment, we offer you an experience that lets you touch the essence of Japanese culture through a cup of matcha.
