Overview
Fuwafu-an is a phantom tearoom floating in the air. Guests are guided into the veiled tea house through the overpass ”Nijiri Guchi”, and the tea house itself floats in the air. Like a flying carpet, the teahouse itself floats in the air, inviting visitors to an extraordinary world of forests, rivers, and the universe.
