Japanese Teahouse has been the general resthouse since about the Muromachi Period. It’s where is served tea and Japanese confectionery, and is thought as the symbol of Japanese emotion.

Mizuya Chaya is a Japanese sweets café inside the Nara Park, and the old-fashioned Kayabuki roof (thatched roof) is indescribably tasteful. In Autumn, it’s recommended because you can enjoy the autumn colors. When you come across the deer inside the Park, you might be able to take pictures of the unique scenery.
