Yuusui-Teien Shimeisō

entrance fee is ¥400. the land lady will serve a cup of green tea. its a typical tatami japanese home but very picturesque. there are a few very big koi fish in the pond.

My family and I experience trasnquil and beautiful park with tons of natrual spring water rising from the ground. The water is so crystal clear that we could see the carps. It cost 400 Yen to sit in this 110 years-old traditional Japanese villa. We sip a cup of green tea in a comfortable and quiet atmosphere. We stroll around the garden and observe the movement of carps in the clear water that reflects the view of trees and picturesque plants. Friendly staffs explains history, recommend attractions and even offcer beverage discount.

Entry cost 400 yen and was just a fair distance away from the train station. It was a pretty good place for me to just sit back and relax after visiting other touristic spots in the area. I was offered a cup of green tea and had small talk with one of the staff members there who was really helpful in recommending other places to visit, she even handed me a brochure to emphasize her point on the best touristic spots worth visiting. I liked my brief experience there.

Very relaxing place to take a rest in the day. The women taking care of this place is very kind. She offers us a cup of fresh tea made with the water source from under the house and a postal card and she proposed to take photos of us on the wooden deck without asking. 400 yens/person is not cheap for this small place but we were alone and tea + card makes it way worth for us.

Tonnes of natural spring water rises up out of the ground here every day and the water is so clear, that the carp swimming around at Shimeiso sometimes appear as if they're floating or even hovering above the water. Enjoy a cup of green tea and relax in this traditional Japanese villa.
