Kikugetsutei

A beautiful little break in the middle of Ritsurin Park. DEFINITELY try the matcha tea. It was super delicious and came with a traditional cookie style treat that paired wonderfully with the tea. The ladies dressed in their Kimono were charming and beautifully presented the tea and snack in a traditional fashion. A nice spot to relax and soak in the stunning environments.

Ritsurin Garden is one of my favorite gardens in Japan. We live visiting Shikoku because there are way fewer people than where we live (Tokyo). I love this garden because I can enjoy the garden without a big crowd—no lines, no competition for the serene views! This tea house is a real gem, just for the views. In the rain, it is a great spot to take a break and enjoy the views without getting wet!

Fantastic tea experience with a beautiful view of the lake and garden. Very relaxing.

Lovely tea house in Ritsurin park. Noce place to stop for sec and relax. ¥700 for matcha with little traditional Japanese sweet made with chestnut, or ¥500 for green tea with same sweets. Getting a tea is a requirement to get into this tea house.

5 stars perfect and beautiful scene with traditional Japanese style and desert.
