Great vibe, great service, long wait if you aren’t prepared.I flew in earlier in the day and had some time to kill before I could check in at my place, so I checked out the Japanese garden. Beautiful place, very well kept. As an avid tea drinker, seeing a tea place instantly hooked me! I didn’t realize you need reservations, but I was luckily able to get in real quick thanks to the wonderful service.The tea is fantastic! Very authentic. Expensive if you get the packages deals. Would be a perfect date spot if I lived in the area!

Really good tea, everything else was pretty okay! Amazing ambiance makes this place totally worthwhile to me!

I've been to Japan, including teahoused where I've had matcha, and this was the next best thing to a trip to Japan--it was all very authentic and tasty. Our server was extremely nice and I'm so happy that such a gem exists outside of Japan--it was balm for my soul since I deeply miss Japan.

1 word- Mochi ???. Lovely little spot. You need proof of vaccination so make sure you have your card or a photo! price is pretty reasonable for such a pleasant experience. The website says they close at 4 pm, but they actually close at 5!

it's beautiful and peaceful and has a wonderful teahouse with delicious pastries

This is one of my favorite places on earth! It’s tranquility is intoxicating, the tour guides are very interesting and informative, every inch is beautifully and artistically thought out and I have loved it through all seasons and during every time of day. It is not to be missed!

This place is majestic. The grounds are meticulously manicured and the water features are very serene and calming .

Very good device and I feels very authentic and the food+tea was very good.

Nothing special, and kinda expensive
