Enjoy your tea set at Nakajima Tea Shop like shoguns used to

This place is definitely my favorite place to take a rest. Nakajima Tea Shop is located inside of Hama-rikyu Garden, which is a traditional Japanese style Garden.

There’s a “Tatami” in this tea shop and a great view from the room. Matcha and Manjuu (japanese sweets) set are also available here for just ¥510. 

Hama-rikyu Garden. The contrast between nature and city makes this a perfect place for photos!

 

Contrast of the old and the new.

 

 

This tea and tea snack is a traditional Japanese treat. It is said that in old times, Shogun (Generals) or guests used this kind of tea set while fishing and moon-watching. This set is just ¥510 and you can top-up your tea at ¥200.
