MUST TRY:MATCHA WITH WARABI MOCHI

Mizuya Chaya sits along a forested path in Nara Park, steps from Kasuga Taisha shrine. Ancient cedar trees frame its thatched roof and filter the afternoon light into something quieter. Sacred deer move through without hesitation, treating the tea house as part of their territory. The air holds cool moss, old timber, and near-silence.
