This tea ceremony was what we had come to the garden for. It was part of our tour to experience this. We had done a tea ceremony before back in Kyoto, but this one was a little more formal. Our guide did all the talking while the lady in the kimono performed and we watched and tasted. Green tea is still not my favourite. Give me a good quality roasted black tea made in a pot any day.
A view of the tea house it'self now from the garden. Set in the back corner of the garden, the roof is tiled and parts of it are heavily covered in moss. When we did finally get inside, we were to be careful not to touch the walls as they were paper. Apparently the structure is quite old.
