Tea House and Garden of Enshu Kobori

The garden is also beautiful and offers seasonal views. The tea house and garden, created by Enshu Kobori (1579-1647), a feudal lord tea master of the Edo period, have been restored.

The teahouse, “Chikumeiro,” is a reproduction of a part of the Takihonbo of Ishimizu Hachimangu Shrine and the Fushimi Magistrate’s residence in Kyoto, based on the picture plan and other information that remain today.

Kobori Enshu established his own unique style of tea ceremony called “Kireisabi,” which is based on “Wabicha” and blended with the world of elegance and waka poetry. In this tea room, visitors can observe Kobori Enshu’s world of kireisabi up close.

The garden is a reconstruction of the east garden of the Sento Palace at Go-Mizunoo-in Temple, created by Enshu in 1634.

The garden is a pond garden with a pond and a boat, where visitors can walk around the pond and enjoy boating and other activities. Opposing elements, such as natural and artificial, straight and curved lines, are contrasted in this garden.

In addition, the eight bridges, named after “The Tale of Ise” and separated by a Tsukiji wall, express Enshu’s admiration for the culture of the Heian period dynasties.

Fujinokuni Tea Museum offers a wonderful experience to enjoy Japanese tea and its culture. We invite you to experience the history of Shizuoka tea while enjoying tea and beautiful scenery.
