🎎🍵CAMELLIA TEA CEREMONY🌺🍡

The calm, cold, quiet days of winter are almost over, and the fragrant plum blossoms herald warmer days ahead.

Before the trickle of visitors becomes a flood, let me take the time to show you around our teahouses, and explain what services we offer🙇‍♂️

🌸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.

General 4 — Authentic Kyoto Tea Ceremony

Authentic Kyoto Tea Ceremony

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🥰

🌻FLOWER TEAHOUSE🍵

Flower Teahouse sits on Ninenzaka (二年坂), part of a hill that climbs from Kōdai-ji (高台寺) to Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), one of Kyōto's most popular temples.

The landscape is carefully preserved, filled with Taishō period buildings.

@camelliakyoto Gorgeous photos 🙂
I notice that the streets are empty, whereas it is usually a very crowded area. How is that so? The first photo does not seem to have been shot early morning.
Whas it during COVID?
@xtof This was just before Japan opened its borders again. To think back on those days, we are unlikely to see anything like it again...Kyoto was empty and so peaceful.
