We offer two plans: "Teicha," which is available to anyone without a reservation, and "Otemae," which is by reservation only and in which Mu-an staff member will demonstrate the tea ceremony right in front of you.
"Teicha" is a tea ceremony where you can enjoy matcha tea prepared in a "standing tea ceremony" style, where you sit on a chair in the "mizuya" (preparation room). For the "Otemae" (tea preparation), you can choose to sit in the "standing tea ceremony" style or in the "hiroma" (large room) style, where you sit on tatami mats.

About Tea House Mu-an
The history of Tea House Mu-an began when Fusanosuke Kuhara, a prominent businessman and the owner of the Happo-en estate at the time, relocated an entire tea house to this site. The original structure was built by Heihachi Tanaka, a merchant active from the late Edo period through the early Meiji era. Kuhara was an avid tea enthusiast who cherished this tea house while preserving its original character. He invited tea masters from Kyoto to reside on the premises and added the current table-style seating area (Ryurei-seki) over what was originally an earthen floor space. The refined tastes and dedication of both Heihachi Tanaka, the original owner, and Fusanosuke Kuhara, the subsequent owner, can still be seen today in details such as the ceiling of the main tea room (Hiroma) and the table in the Ryurei-seki area. We invite you to enjoy a moment of tranquility at Tea House Mu-an, where you can feel the legacy of history passed down through generations.
