The Daigokuden has been restored to its large appearance in the capital of Nara Year and the ruins of the central palace [Heijo Palace]. If you go northwest from the Taikyokuden, you will find "Cafe Kyoan". Experience the tea ceremony here and explore the various tea rooms. First of all, decide the seating order of the customer. If there are four people, it will be a regular customer, a second customer, a third customer, and a last customer. When you enter the tea room, you will be given a signal by a gong. After that, you will enter the room after cleaning your hands and mouth with the Tsukubai in front of the tea room. The entrance of the tea room is less than 1m square! Enter one by one from the regular customer to the last customer through the entrance (small rectangular entrance). The tea room is a different space. First, you will see (appreciate) tea utensils (everything has a name and meaning) such as hanging scrolls, and then sit down at your own seat. The owner (the person who makes tea according to the fixed method <pointing>) comes into the tea room with tools. The tea party is about to begin! During the tea ceremony, the instructor will teach you how to do it in the tea room. At the end of the ceremony, there is a <seeing> of the light tea bowl (Natsume) and chashaku (Chashaku) used by the host. You will be asked to place the tools in front of you in order from the regular customers. The way of <seeing> is surprisingly careful to handle the tools! This may also be my first experience. Let's listen to the "sound" in the tea room! The sound of boiling water, the sound of pouring and rinsing the cassotte and chasen water, and the indescribable impression! At the end of the tea ceremony, as well as when entering the room, after seeing the tools in the tea room, we will leave from the regular customers through the entrance. I'm used to returning home, so it may be easier to get out! Thank you for your hard work! Originally, it is not possible to take pictures in the tea room, but there is a shooting time after the end. There is no doubt that it will look good on Instagram, as it is in front of you, as a customer!

Even customers who are worried about whether they can paddle at first will be able to paddle smoothly in the second half. The water surface feels very close, so it is also suitable for taking photos. Let's make memories of your trip at the beautiful Lake Motosu! [The charm of Lake Motosu] 13 kilometers in circumference, a depth of 130 meters, and the highest transparency in Honshu! It is a very beautiful lake! If you want to see more than this, you will have to go to a lake in Hokkaido! ・The blue lake, "Motosu Blue" The color of the water changes as the depth changes, so pay attention to that too! ・Straight to the point! A view of Mt. Fuji! It is difficult in summer when it is hidden by clouds, but you can enjoy the "breathtaking view" in other seasons! If you want to see Mt. Fuji, we recommend October to May! - There are no motorboats, so there are no artificial waves and it is easy to row.

Highly recommended by guides! ☆From 9:30 ☆ This is a popular time. Although it is not as strong as early mornings, the wind is calm and it is easy to row. ☆From 13:00 ☆ The wind tends to blow in the afternoon. It is a popular time, but it is recommended for experienced people. For beginners and those with children, early morning and morning are recommended. [Characteristics by season] ☆Spring March to May ☆ It is a season when it gradually gets warmer, and it is easy to see the snow-covered Mt. Fuji, and you can enjoy the magnificent view. ☆Summer June to September ☆ This is the season when Mt. Fuji is easily hidden by clouds. The cold water temperature gradually warms up, and you can enjoy swimming in the lake from July.

The trees of Lake Motosu, surrounded by broadleaf trees, begin to turn red. The leaves turn red in early November. Also, during this season, Mt. Fuji, which is covered in clouds in summer, begins to become visible. Snow falls around October. ☆Winter from December to February☆ During the severe winter, the temperature drops below zero.

If you would like a single kayak, please specify "single preference."

Rating 5.0

二人乗り＋ラブラドールで楽しみました。曇り空だったけど、富士山も見られました。ガイドさんのお話しもとてもためになりました。本栖湖の透明度には驚きました。カヤックに乗るのは2回目でしたが、安心して楽しめました。是非また挑戦したいと思います。ありがとうございます。
