This special tea ceremony experience is an adaptation of the traditional *Yobanashi*—a nighttime tea gathering that invites guests into a mysterious, ethereal world illuminated only by faint light—reimagined so it can be enjoyed year-round.

The venue is the privately reserved Ogawa Residence Garden *Kansui-en*, a nationally registered monument and a Tottori Prefectural designated scenic cultural property. With a lantern in hand, you will stroll through the strolling pond garden created by Teiichi Ogawa, a prominent political and business figure of Kurayoshi, guided by a dedicated host. After enjoying a seasonal *hassun* course in the garden’s teahouse *Nanzansō*, you will savor tea and sweets in a softly dimmed setting.

This exclusive evening program offers a touch of luxury—an atmosphere shaped by the interplay of light and shadow, the contrast between brightness and darkness, and the profound aesthetic of *wabi-sabi*.

A special local guide will create a customized tour based on your interests and preferences.
Unlike standard sightseeing courses, you will visit shops and facilities that match your tastes, enjoy unique Japanese cultural experiences, and interact with local people.
This private or small-group tour offers the feeling of exploring the city with a local friend.

※For English-speaking tour guide services, an additional fee of 10,000 yen will be charged.
