Okura Taste Talk
Tea Ceremony Room
“Chosho-an” is a fully equipped tea ceremony room that features an outdoor garden, a tsukubai washbasin, large and small rooms, a preparatory kitchen, and even tables and chairs. As part of the hotel’s efforts to introduce Japanese culture to its guests, the main building of the Hotel Okura Tokyo had been equipped with an authentic tea ceremony room in the Urasenke “Yuin” style since its establishment, but it was dismantled when the main building of the hotel was closed. The parts from this tea ceremony room were stored and then used to recreate the space inside Japanese Fine Dining Yamazato upon the opening of The Okura Tokyo. A separate world awaits you, where Japan’s most beautiful traditions resonate among all five of your senses.
“Chosho-an” is a place where people can enjoy an authentic Japanese tea ceremony, but it is also a place where visitors can learn about tea ceremony in a more casual way with a short-time course that offers tea and confections. Whether immersing yourself in another world when taking in the craftsmanship on display in the small room, from its coffered ceiling made of materials such as bamboo and reeds in a checkered pattern to its log floor beams polished with years of use, or having a more casual tea ceremony by using a table and chairs, this is a space where you can enjoy a variety of events in an atmosphere rich with the beauty of Japanese culture.
