Courtyard of Nakamura Tokichi Honten.

As you observe the stepping stones, you'll notice that each one carries its own unique expression. When they're gently sprinkled with water as a purification ritual, they shimmer with enhanced beauty and brilliance.

If you take part in the Hiki-cha experience, you'll traverse this garden on your way to the tea ceremony room. We encourage you to take a moment to look down at your feet and appreciate the individual beauty of each stone.

We hope you'll savor this space and time, slowly taking in the sights of the camellias, stepping stones, tsukubai (water basin), lanterns, and other elements. It's a moment to cherish and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings.
