What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Shizuhamo is about 10 minutes from Fushimi Inari Shrine by Keihan train and walking. A red fire extinguisher box is on the right of the gate. At your scheduled time, staff will welcome you at the entrance.
What to expect
Stepping through the gate, you will feel as if you have been transported 100 years into the past. The traditional Japanese rooms are filled with items that evoke a time before electricity, gas, and running water, such as authentic paper lanterns (andon), charcoal fires, and water jars. Here, you can enjoy a hands-on experience of the tea ceremony and ikebana, arts once cherished by many in Japan.
You can also learn how to whisk your own matcha with guidance from a tea master. A unique highlight of Shizuhamo is the opportunity to encounter and touch rare elements of a tea room, including the small nijiriguchi (crawling-in entrance), tsurigama (hanging kettle), hanayose-byobu (flower display screen), stone tea mills, tea jars, and the mizuya (prep area).
