(1856) Another thing one can see...


...in the grounds of Tsuruga Castle is the Rinkaku (麟閣) tea room, made by one of the lords of the castle (and Aizu) Gamo Ujisato (蒲生氏郷, 1556-1595) to host the teacher of the art of tea and son of its founder, Sen no Rikyu (千利休, 1522-1591), Sen Shoan (千少庵, 1546-1614). For 600 yen, visitors can have tea at the tea room.
