Tea Room Tokuyûan

Teahouse Tokuyûan is a place where Japanese tea art, or chadô, is studied. Chadô is practiced in traditional tea ceremonies. During the open doors, you can get to know the activities and observe tea exercises, as well as taste tea. The Suomenlinna teahouse is a combination of a traditional Japanese wooden structure and an arched shapes of the sea fortress. An eight-tatami-sized tea room (hiroma), which is best suited for studying chadō, has been built in the space. It is closely connected to a preparation room, or traditional mizuya tea kitchen, and a small, modern kitchen with modern equipment. The casemate also has a Japanese-style entrance hall, genkan, and a smaller tea room (koma) the size of a couple of tatami mats.
