Japanese Tea Gathering

Join RCWMS for a traditional Japanese Tea Gathering. Enjoy the calm simplicity of the tearoom and the natural beauty of the gardens.

The teahouse was built in 2007 as part of a sister city project between Durham and Toyama, Japan.

Our State magazine created a short video about the tea house.
