Chado Research Center Galleries

Run by Urasenke, one of the three schools of tea ceremony descended from the master Sen no Rikyu, this research center combines museum galleries with hands-on tea experiences. The second-floor exhibition hall includes a full-scale replica of a tea room from the Urasenke headquarters nearby, alongside a diorama of the complex. Special exhibitions rotate through the first and second-floor galleries, and a library of more than 60,000 volumes, including English-language titles on chado, is free to enter. Admission is 1,000 yen for adults, with reduced rates for students, and tea experience tickets are sold separately.
