Stop At: Takaranoniwa, 1418 Yamanouchi, Kamakura, Kanagawa 247-0062, Japan
Tea House, Houan is a part of Takaranoniwa, the "Garden of Treasures," . It is an authentic tea house in the forested valley behind Jochiji Temple bulit in 1934, by an owner who adored Jochiji Valley and a young, energetic architect. Built on the large spread of land on the foot of the mountain, Houan features a “sukiya” tea house with eight-mat and four-mat tea rooms surrounded by a roji-style dry garden, a separate small “koma” tea house with thatched roof and a two-mat room, and a sweet-water well. Just an hour out of Tokyo in Kita-Kamakura. Come feel a connection to the nature of our forested valley. A reminder of old Kamakura. We will move to Takara-no-niwa to enjoy our bento box lunch.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Engaku-ji Temple, 409 Yamanochi, Kamakura 247-0062 Kanagawa Prefecture
