Once inside, the host will explain various aspects of tea house architecture by way of introduction before guests enter the outer tea room, where they will participate in an usucha tea ceremony with hand-made traditional sweet. Ticket price includes a hanami (cherry blossom viewing)-themed gift bag. **Ticket price does not include admission (by cash donation) to Nitobe Garden.**
