Ahhh, with the daily stress of life, wouldn't it be nice to designate a space at home, to unwind, clear the thoughts and also a relaxing place to entertain friends. I wish I had a Japanese Tea Room.

In Japanese tradition a tea house (chashitsu lit. "tea room") can refer to a structure designed for holding Japanese tea ceremonies. Tea rooms for tea ceremonies, whether they comprise an independent structure or one room within a larger architectural structure, are also called chashitsu in Japanese. The architectural space called chashitsu was created for aesthetic and intellectual fulfillment.

In Japan a tea house (ochaya) can also refer to a place of entertainment with geisha, the most notable of which is the Ichiriki Ochaya. These kind of tea houses are typically very exclusive establishments.
