Sept 2019

This old residence in Shibamata has a beautiful Japanese garden where you can sit inside the residence to enjoy the view while sipping green tea! Lovely place for 100 yen entry fees! The green tea which comes with some Japanese sweet cakes is an optional extra for 500 yen. Access here is via a short walk from Shibamata Station.

“So beautiful and tranquil”

June 2019

This place is so quiet, serene and beautiful! We had green tea with some delicious snacks with a view to match. It will be great reading a book here to soak it all in.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful, peaceful garden and exquisite traditional house

I heard about Yamamoto-tei from a Japanese friend, when I asked about unique places to visit in Tokyo. I now recommend it to anyone visiting! The house and garden are stunning examples of Japanese architecture and traditional design philosophy. As a bonus, Yamamoto-tei is located in the charming historic area of Shibamata. From the station, you walk down an Edo-era style street with vendors selling traditional food and sweets. When you arrive at the very elegant Yamamoto-tei, you feel a distinct sense of serenity. Both the house and garden are immaculately preserved, and you can walk through the entire house, observing details of the architectural style, like paper screen doors, rich timber beams, hanging scrolls, and tatami floors. The former living room has been converted into a beautiful tea room, with expansive views of the garden. The garden itself is a marvel - immaculate yet lush, with hundreds of different varieties of trees and shrubs, a pond, and a waterfall that provides a calming soundtrack. I sat for a long time drinking green tea and looking out onto the garden, entranced. This is a very special experience, and for just ¥100 entrance!
