Activity

Experience tea ceremony in a 200-year-old machiya

You can participate in a matcha tea ceremony in a 200-year-old machiya (traditional Japanese townhouse). Please enjoy talking with our staff!

Nagahama's Attraction (1): Port town on Lake Biwa

The largest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa, has long been known as a key trading hub and a treasure trove of natural blessings. You can also enjoy a cruise to the uninhabited island of Chikubu Island, a breathtaking spot selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Sunset Spots," within walking distance.

Nagahama's Attraction (2): Nostalgic castle town

Nagahama's value as a merchant city is underscored by its long-standing shops and well-preserved 200-year-old machiya houses. Its retro townscape sets it apart. Unlike the bustling crowds of Kyoto and Osaka, Nagahama provides a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing tourists to leisurely explore and enjoy sightseeing at their own pace.

Not only delicious! Experience the spirit of Zen through a tea ceremony

Freshly brewed matcha tea has a beautiful aroma and has umami and sweetness. We won't get into the challenging etiquette, but we hope you appreciate the tea utensils, the setting, and the moment spent with the matcha (green tea).

A Japanese sweets popular among locals, from a long-established Japanese sweet shop

Enjoy seasonal Japanese sweets from a long-established Japanese sweet shop, which is rarely visited by tourists but is popular among locals.
