Overview

Escape the bustle of the city and enjoy a peaceful moment in a quiet tea room. Delight in exquisite Japanese sweets and the finest matcha—an experience that soothes the soul. We proudly serve exquisite confections from a long-established Kyoto wagashi shop, perfectly paired with one of the finest matcha selections from Marukyu Koyamaen. Among countless tea experiences in Japan, few can match the level of quality we offer in both sweets and tea. “Chanoyu The KYOTO uzumasa” is a hidden sanctuary nestled in the historic district of Uzumasa, where the refined elegance of the Heian period still lingers. Step inside and you’ll be welcomed by a stylish interior, leading to a meticulously designed garden and an authentic tea room. The atmosphere—crafted with the utmost care—feels like a world apart. Take your time, and immerse yourself in the deep and beautiful world of Chanoyu.
