いらっしゃいませ。

(I-ra-s-shya-i-ma-se)

Welcome to our strolling garden. Its gate opened in 1971 as designed by Mr. Yataro Suzue and Lori Barber.

He stated then: "beauty is not trickery, not illusion ... but arranging elements like trees, water and rocks in a way that there is no crowding, no competition for attention."

Please note: The January tea ceremony has been canceled due to the bad weather.

Our Mission: "to promote intercultural understanding and peace through a bowl of tea."
