A Japan Photo per Day - Hamarikyu Gardens, Nakajima no Ochaya

By Muza-chan on Jul 26, 2010 | In A Japan Photo per Day | 26 feedbacks »

I love how the Japanese manage to keep the balance between old and new… and the Hamarikyu Gardens are probably a good example.
Although the background is composed by glass and steel skyscrapers, in the Hamarikyu Gardens you can still enjoy a cup of traditional tea and a Japanese bean cake in a traditional tea house (ochaya), just like 300 years ago, when this Ochaya was built…
