This tour takes place in Sakai, Rikyu’s birthplace and one of Japan’s most important cities for tea culture. Visit the site of his former residence and explore Sakai Risho no Mori, a cultural museum where you can learn about Rikyu, the history of tea, and Sakai’s role as a prosperous merchant city. You will also enjoy a casual seated tea ceremony experience, designed to make Japanese tea culture easy to approach even for first-time visitors. Depending on your selected option, the tour may also include kurumi mochi, a traditional Sakai sweet often enjoyed with tea, and Nanshuji Temple, a Zen temple closely connected to Rikyu’s training.
