Shojuan

This teahouse is located next to the main building of Chusonji Temple in Koromonoseki, Hiraizumi, Hiraizumi Town, Nishiiwai County. It was donated by the entrepreneur Konosuke Matsushita (founder of Panasonic) in 1968 and designed by the iemoto (leader) of the UraSenke school of tea ceremony, Master Sen Soshitsu. Visitors to the temple can stop off there for a relaxing cup of matcha green tea and a traditional sweet.
