I was able to spend a relaxing time in a Kyomachiya. I don't usually take a close look at the tea room, but I could enter through the nijiriguchi and look at the charcoal and the hanging scroll, and pick up the tools and such. Ikebana experience was also available. It was my first time grinding matcha tea with a millstone. This time, I thought that coming with my family and friends in a kimono would give me a good picture.
