Very nice. Just show your ticket to the castle and they’ll give you 100 yen off the tea. It’s great.

When we visited Kakegawa Castle while our trip to Shizuoka, we visited their Japanese Tea Room on the premises. Kakegawa Castle was originally built about 500 years ago. However, most of the castle was destroyed in the big earthquake of 1854. It was rebuilt in 1944, and it was the first castle Japan to be rebuilt with wood. Ninomaru Tea Room was also built with wood, in 2002, one story, traditional house. The Tea Room is sitting right by the Kakegawa Castle Tower, you have a beautiful view of the tower from there. Blue sky, green grass and trees, and the castle, perfect scenery for an afternoon tea. The main tea room is in the back, with large windows that overlooks their peaceful garden. It is such a beautiful setting with the greenery outside against red carpet. The windows are all around the room, so that the view of the garden can be enjoyed from any and all seats. In the middle of the room was where the tea is made, it is quite interesting to be at a real Japanese tea ceremony to see them work. We were not here for any kind of tea ceremony event, so that was not done in front of us, but we still got to taste their tea and sweets. We were all given a Japanese confectionery of a purple flower, and sencha green tea. After we took our time enjoying the tea, we walked around its garden and relaxed some more. It was such as treat during our visit to the castle. While taking in its history and detailed reconstruction and architecture of it, it is good to have a little down time to take it all in. Read my full review of this tea room on my food blog, foodlovergirl.
Ninomaru Tea Room is in the traditional Sukiya style and has Ichimonji straight line tiles on the roof. You can enjoy drinking tea over the garden and castle with fee.
掛川城天守閣を拝観後急勾配の石段を降りて天守閣脇の石垣下の防御塀を通り抜けこの二の丸茶屋に至る。 手入れされた庭園に囲まれた木造家屋の茶室に床几が置かれ、それの応じたテーブル？が配置され、中央に茶室の道具が置かれ趣があるセットになっている。抹茶と手作りの銘菓セットが和服姿の婦人にて配膳、静かな静寂の中でおもむろに茶室気分で美味しくいただく
500円で抹茶とお菓子を頂きました。お菓子は高級そうな練り物で抹茶との組み合わせで非常に美味しかったです。またお茶の説明するかたが非常に話し上手の方で心地よく過ごさせていただきました。また近くまで行ったら伺いたいです。
庭園の鑑賞だけなら無料ということで遠慮も節操もなく立ち入らせていただきました。機会があれば是非、お茶をいただきたい。機会があればの話だが。
以前、海外からの客人をもてなす為に利用しました。
広間が団体客で使用中だったので、小間「桔梗庵」でお茶をいただきました。にじり口から入りましたが、実際ににじり口から茶室に入ったのは、今回が初めてではないかと思います。とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。
