Activity

Experience your favorite Japanese tea

You can choose your favorite cup from the highest-grade Japanese teas, such as matcha, sencha, and hojicha.

A special experience at the former home of renowned figure Keiichiro Yasukawa.

This experience will take place at the former home of Keiichiro Yasukawa, a notable figure who supported the prosperity of the region and was a supporter of Sun Yat-sen. Enjoy Japanese tea while experiencing the history of the Yasukawa family, the "coal-mining kings" who contributed to Japan's growth from the countryside.

Experience life in Japan

Since this is a former residence (a private home), you can experience the traditional Japanese style of taking off your shoes at the entrance. In the main room, there is a plaque by Sun Yat-sen, who visited the residence.

Enjoy photography in the tranquil garden

In front of the storehouse where the exhibits are located, there is a kimono tapestry that changes colors with the seasons and a statue of Sun Yat-sen. It is also a perfect spot for taking pictures.

Japanese tea and traditional seasonal Japanese confectionary "nerikiri"

Nerikiri, a Japanese confectionery that embodies Japanese traditions and the beauty of the four seasons, goes very well with Japanese tea. Nerikiri is changed with each season.
