★Request★

◎Before entering a tea room,　please remove any accessories such as watches,　

bracelets and rings before taking your seat.

This is to prevent damage to the tea bowl.

◎Please bring white socks or white tabi socks. 

We would appreciate it if you could change into them before entering the tea room.

The reason for changing socks is that the tea room is a sacred & pure space

and because tea bowls and other items will be placed directly on the tatami mats,

we want to keep the tatami mats clean.
