Itinerary

Meet at the reception of the Daisho-in temple. Please arrive at assembly point 15 min. before the start time. Then, move to the tea room. The tea room is very small, only 3 tatami mats in size and with no lights as it was built in accordance with a formal planning and construction. Arrangements of rooms and design, building materials have been kept from the time it was first built, so it must be a valuable experience to see and sit in the tea room.
