Fodor's Review:
Flowering plum trees, azaleas, irises, camellias, and maple trees take seasonal turns adding color to this tea shop in a former villa. En route from Maruyama Koen to Kiyomizu-dera, Rakusho is a pleasant place to enjoy a bowl of frothy matcha or freshly brewed coffee while gazing over the garden. You can order warabi mochi, rice-flour dumplings with the consistency of Jell-O, rolled in sweetened soya-bean powder. Rakusho closes at 6 PM.
