Afternoon Tea at Chinzansou (Hotel)


A month ago, I had the afternoon tea at CHINZANSOU (椿山荘)hotel with my friend.
Pagoda room where we had the tea is located on 12th floor and it's actually the room that is renovated for the limited afternoon tea customers. You don't see the sign anywhere when you go up to the 12th floor. The staff starts calling your name at 2:30pm.(The time I booked the afternoon tea was 2:30pm)
 
Everybody can have the afternoon tea there, but the number of people are limited. Only 5 or 6 gourps were there when we had the tea this time. If you want to have tea there, you need to make the reservation in advance.

The afternoon tea we had this time was called " Summer Afternoon Tea." You can enjoy many different kinds of tea they have during your stay. Unfortunately, the time you can stay there is 2 hours, so you need to drink very fast if you want to try many kinds of tea :)
