Tea Houses and Buddhism at Nezu

Tea Houses are all over the grounds. They are used for private tea ceremonies, where nature combines with the aromatics of tea along with the influence of Buddhism.

Serenity of the Garden at Nezu Museum

While the museum is a wonderful experience, walking the garden grounds takes you back to old Japan where a tea ceremony would take place in one of the several cottages that lie in the landscape, as a part of nature.
