We warmly welcome you as a bridge of hospitality that caters to all needs without boundaries.

This area, once called "Tenjin no Mori," became a hub for tea culture in the late Muromachi period. It is said that tea master Joo Takeno was drawn to the quality of the spring water here and built a tea room, marking the beginning of its history. Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who visited a teahouse in this region, praised its flavors, leading to it being called "Tenka Chaya" (The Emperor's Teahouse).Inspired by this rich history of Tenka Chaya, our facility is designed with the concept of offering a relaxing space where you can enjoy Japanese tea.With features such as a garden view from the veranda, comfortable mat spaces, and an enchanting bath area, our facility combines traditional Japanese ambiance with modern comfort. Enjoy your time at today's "Tenka Chaya" to the fullest.
