A modern tea house by Shin Amagasaki, a global architect. Innovative designs, such as a stainless steel tint, titanium panel walls, and a round and square exterior, harmonize the essence of modern architecture with the heart of tea ceremony. On the other hand, valuable materials such as the millennium Yakusugi are used for the wall, and Yakushiji's old wood fence is used for the floor pillar. The modern tea house, created by the fusion of tradition and innovation, lies quietly in the Gotenyama Garden.
