A perfect gem! This old & original little tea house, tucked away on a little side street, is not only beautiful & relaxing, it’s a tranquil & peaceful, allowing you to leave the hustle & bustle of the outside world for a short while whilst learning about the traditions & history of the tea ceremony. The hosts are very knowledgable & very friendly!
