Japanese Tea Lounge
Sit back with a cup of relaxing Japanese tea.
We have prepared a selection of complimentary Japanese tea, available in the lounge on the first floor of THE MACHIYA HOTEL TAKAYAMA.
The tea is made from tea leaves grown locally in the Gifu Prefecture.
The special terrain and climate, characterized by frequent mists, here in the Gifu area allow tea plants to grow at a slower pace, resulting in a uniguely deep and fragrant flavor.
At THE MACHIYA HOTEL TAKAYAMA, we support the local effort to spread the knowledge of GIfu's tea.
Take a break here in the heart of Hida Takayama while enjoying the view of the 'tsuboniwa' garden with a delicious cup of Japanese tea.
We offer a selection of tea in our lounge from 'Matsuno Chaho', a long-established tea shop in Takayama. 'Matsuno Chaho' is located in the heart of Hida Takayama, in the midst of Takayama's old town and the historic Takayama Jinya. They began as a salt merchant during the middle of the Meiji period (1862-1912), but began producing and selling Japanese tea in the early Showa period (1926-1989). Selecting only the very best tasting and most fragrant tea leaves from the Gifu prefecture as well as other regions, they have created special Japanese tea blends that can only be found in Takayama.
