- Overview
-
- The 170-year-old traditional Japanese house offers a glimpse into the historical Japanese lifestyle and customs. Kagoshima, known for its tea plantations, provides visitors with carefully selected sencha paired with seasonal sweets, capturing the essence of each season.
- Historically, Kagoshima women learned etiquette through tea ceremonies, shamisen playing, and dance before marriage. Local gatherings called "shachu" featured singing, dancing, and shamisen performances.
- "Sumiyoshi Shachu" in Ichiki-Kushikino City remains the sole preserver of this traditional performing art from the Meiji era (circa 1870).
- This blend of historical ambiance and cultural practices offers a distinct and immersive experience that goes beyond typical tourist activities.
