Tea ceremony room -ChoSho An

The hotel's Urasenke 'Yuin'-style Chosho-an tea room was originally designed by architect Mitsuhiko Otani but it was dismantled when the main hotel was rebuilt. The new Yoshio Taniguchi-designed hotel repositioned the tea room adjacent to the Yamazato restaurant and revived this timeless tradition. Today, Chosho-an is a peaceful retreat where guests can enjoy an authentic Japanese tea ceremony.

Guests will have the unique opportunity to personally prepare Japanese tea under the guidance of our tea masters. Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the tea ceremony as you learn the art of whisking matcha, accompanied by carefully selected seasonal confectionery.

Marvel at the room's incredibly detailed craftsmanship—from its coffered bamboo ceiling to the wooden floor beams that have been polished smooth after years of use—and savor the serene ambiance that has made this tea room a peaceful retreat.
