SPECIAL TINY TEA TERRACE

SPECIAL TINY TEA TERRACE The main venue for this project is a tea terrace of approximately 10 metres square that appears on the street sidewalk. The space will be covered with "tatami" mats and an old hearth box will be placed in the middle. Of course, we will provide a charcoal fire so you can enjoy warming up or even roasting dumplings.

This venue setup has been planned with the approval of local authorities, including the administration, police, and fire department. A distinctive red parasol will serve as a landmark, easily guiding visitors to our location. We are waiting for your visit on the south street of Shinobazu Pond, where a unique cultural experience awaits.
