The Gion Festival is getting towards its Climax. However from beginning of this week, West Japan is under very very heavy rain.
There are displays of Yama-hoko on the streets as well as food stands from 14th night until tomorrow. However due to the rain, not many people visit compared to usual year.
According to the forecast rain season should end by this Friday so the parade of floats held on Saturday should be sunny.
We are having Tea Ceremony in following dates at the lobby of NISHIYAMA RYOKAN.
It is for free so please join us!
The Japanese tea ceremony is one of the quintessential expressions of Japanese esthetics. It is a comprehensive art encompassing not just the serving and drinking of tea, but the protocol of tea preparation, tea implements, the decoration of the tea room with objects of beauty, and more. The tea ceremony is a discipline for sharing time with one’s guest and fostering communication with one’s own soul.
