Guida
'Kyutei Omuro Deep Green Fragrance' is a special limited-capacity event held during the refreshing early summer season. As the fresh greenery sprouts, guests will enjoy views of the garden reflected on quince tables in a strictly timed, small-group setting.
This event is a reservation-only, small-group experience that includes a detailed guided tour by the director. Guests can explore the 2nd-floor area and gardens, which are usually closed to the public, and enjoy matcha with traditional sweets and an original gift. Escape the city bustle to experience the tranquil atmosphere of the Omuro estate amidst the lush greenery.
The most significant feature of this special opening is the private guided tour by the director. You will have the rare opportunity to visit the 2nd-floor area, which is typically inaccessible, offering a unique perspective of the interior and the surrounding scenery. The experience also includes a stroll through the garden, specifically curated for the fresh greenery season.
During the visit, guests are treated to matcha and seasonal sweets while admiring the garden views. An original gift is also provided to participants, making this a truly exclusive experience. The beauty of the garden viewed from inside the building is a major highlight of this seasonal event.
This event is held on specific dates only.
