Kyotanabe City Tourist Information Center was renovated in 2022. At the same time, Kyotanabe Gyokuro Salon, where visitors can feel free to experience the charm of Japanese tea, was newly established.
Here, you can learn how to brew gyokuro (luxury Japanese green tea), a specialty of the city, and how to make matcha (finely ground green tea that is whisked with hot water). The staff will guide you through the process in a cozy space with an irori (open fireplace). No reservations required.
They also provide tourist information about the city, and sell carefully selected local specialties, called “Kyotanabe Brand Ikkyuhin”.
Kyotanabe Gyokuro Salon is also attractive because of its convenient location near two stations. This is the perfect place to start sightseeing in Kyotanabe.
