Story & Recommendation
Offering the special opportunity for a tea ceremony in Shorenin Temple
The emperor Gosakuramachi used Shoren-in as a temporary palace after the imperial palace was burnt by the big fire of 1788. Kobuntei was a historical study room of Gosakuramachi during that time. From the Meiji period, it has been used as a tea room, but was lost due to arson in 1993. Warm and kind support provided by the people around made it possible to reconstruct the tea room in 1995, and its completion was celebrated by a commencement party. The building was restored in the original architectural form of the Edo period, using the same type of wood material. It is a perfect reconstruction. Kobuntei consists of three tearooms, a Buddhist altar room, and a water room. It is open to the public twice a year in spring and autum.
