Chazuna is a contemporary museum in Uji dedicated to the rich heritage of Japanese tea. Unlike traditional museums, Chazuna offers a fully immersive experience: from interactive exhibits and beautifully curated multimedia displays to hands-on educational materials, it brings the world of tea vividly to life. Visitors can explore the journey of tea—from its cultivation in misty fields to its place in Japanese culture and daily rituals. The architecture itself reflects the aesthetics of tea: clean, harmonious, and rooted in nature. Whether you’re a seasoned tea enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Chazuna is the perfect gateway to understanding the depth and beauty of Uji’s tea traditions.
Tsuen Main Branch
  • 30m

Tsuen is not just a teahouse—it’s a living piece of history. Located at the foot of the iconic Uji Bridge, Tsuen has been serving tea since 1160, making it Japan’s oldest operating teahouse. For over eight centuries, this humble yet revered establishment has welcomed samurai, monks, poets, and travelers with its time-honored hospitality. The wooden building, with its simple yet elegant design, carries the atmosphere of old Japan. Stepping into Tsuen is like stepping back in time, where you can savor expertly prepared tea while surrounded by centuries of tradition. It’s a place where you don’t just drink tea—you experience it with all your senses.
