On Monday the central and western parts of Kyōto city experienced record rainfall...about 102mm in 1 hour!
For the first time the teahouse pond overflowed, and the downpour was so intense it pushed water under the eaves into the waiting area🌬️⛈️😨
Much like Christmas, it always feels as if the autumn colours will never arrive...
...but just like that they're here and it doesn't feel as if there's enough time to enjoy them🥹

Spring, when even Kyōto's car parks put on a show🌸😅

Although the building is over 100 years old, there has been a property on this site for well over 500 years, residence of the head family that oversaw Ryōan-ji's 'parish'.
Due to their status the family were often expected to act as hosts, so very little has changed🥰
🌸GARDEN TEAHOUSE🍁
We began to caretake this magnificent property 8 years ago, and this year marks the house's 103rd birthday!🎉
Located just across the road from Ryōan-ji (竜安寺) in west Kyōto, the teahouse sits amongst lush and mossy gardens.
Always time for a little frolic.

Our Garden Teahouse sits alongside Hō-zaka (法坂), very close to Ryōan-ji's South Gate.
With the guests gone for the day, and the snow falling, it's a chance to enjoy the gardens before the light completely fades.
