Tea room

I end up taking many pictures of things that interest me. The teahouses of Katsura Rikyu(Katsura Imperial Villa) are shown here. After all, it is better to see the real thing than to see it in a photograph. The real thing has a different atmosphere than the picture.

Katsura Rikyu（Katsura Imperial Villa） was built in the 17th century as a villa for the Imperial Family, and was administered by the Ministry of the Imperial Household in the 19th century. It is a valuable building and garden that still retains the appearance of its original construction. The large grounds are dotted with four tea-ceremony pavilions surrounding a pond.

Kyoto Gyoen isn't just the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Southeast of the Kyoto Gosho is the Kyoto Sento Gosho. The Sento Gosho is the residence of the former emperor, and this place was used until the Edo period. The Kyoto Sento Gosho is the place to see the garden. This garden is a style of garden that features a path around a pond.

Shusuitei is a building from the late Edo period.This building is both a detached residence and a tea ceremony room for the Kujo family.The Kujo family is one of Goseke(five families of the Fujiwara clan-Konoe,Kujo,Nijo,Ichijo,and Takatsukasa), and is a family with a great history.

I went to see the garden at Kyutei Omuro. It is located in a quiet residential area near Ninna-ji Temple, at the northern foot of Ichino-oka Hill.Perhaps because I visited during the hot part of the day, there were few people around, so I was able to relax in the tea house in the garden.
