Finding Comfort in the Way of Tea, the Traditional Japanese Spirit

The Furukawa Museum Annex, For the Sake of Saburou Memorial Museum, stands in a quiet residential area in Chikusa Ward. This small building is a space filled with Japanese aesthetics and thoughtfulness.

A Residence Filled with History and Dignity

The memorial museum is a tea-ceremony architecture residence once inhabited by the ceramic artist, Furukawa Saburou. It now serves as a branch of the museum, hosting special exhibitions of traditional crafts.

Viewing the Japanese Garden from the Window

The view of the garden from the tea room is filled with colors that change with the seasons. Lush greenery in spring, vibrant foliage in autumn, and subtle yet striking dry landscape gardens. Simply enjoying the scenery brings a sense of peace to the heart.

Moments of Bliss with Matcha and Japanese Sweets

At the teahouse cafe overlooking the inner courtyard, you can enjoy authentic matcha and seasonal Japanese sweets. The matcha has a deep, rich flavor with a refined bitterness that is comforting. The simple sweetness of the seasonal confectionery, savored with each bite, brings a sense of tranquil happiness.

Forget the hustle and bustle of modern society, and come touch the traditional spirit here. At the Furukawa Museum Annex, awaits a special time to fully appreciate the beauty of Japan.
