Enjoy beautiful Japanese garden and Match tea. We visited Yamamoto Tei at Shibamata in Tokyo. It was not so big but sophisticated garden. There are some tea and coffee with sweets. around 600Yen to 700 Yen I enjoy cold match drink because it was very hot day!

This old residence in Shibamata has a beautiful Japanese garden where you can sit inside the residence to enjoy the view while sipping green tea! Lovely place for 100 yen entry fees! The green tea which comes with some Japanese sweet cakes is an optional extra for 500 yen. Access here is via a short walk from Shibamata Station.

So beautiful and tranquil

Jun 2019 • Family

This place is so quiet, serene and beautiful! We had green tea with some delicious snacks with a view to match. It will be great reading a book here to soak it all in.

Beautiful, peaceful garden and exquisite traditional house

I heard about Yamamoto-tei from a Japanese friend, when I asked about unique places to visit in Tokyo. I now recommend it to anyone visiting! The house and garden are stunning examples of Japanese architecture and traditional design philosophy. As a bonus, Yamamoto-tei is located in the charming historic area of Shibamata. From the station, you walk down an Edo-era style street with vendors selling traditional food and sweets. When you arrive at the very elegant Yamamoto-tei, you feel a distinct sense of serenity. Both the house and garden are immaculately preserved, and you can walk through the entire house, observing details of the architectural style, like paper screen doors, rich timber beams, hanging scrolls, and tatami floors. The former living room has been converted into a beautiful tea room, with expansive views of the garden. The garden itself is a marvel - immaculate yet lush, with hundreds of different varieties of trees and shrubs, a pond, and a waterfall that provides a calming soundtrack. I sat for a long time drinking green tea and looking out onto the garden, entranced. This is a very special experience, and for just ¥100 entrance!
