Japanisches Teehaus Kanshoan
Japanisches Teehaus Kanshoan stands in Munich’s Englischer Garten, slightly hidden behind the Haus der Kunst. The traditional structure offers a quiet setting within the city.
Urasenke Tea School in Kyoto gave the tea house to Munich in 1972, alongside the Olympic Games. German and Japanese members preserve its tea culture together. Japanese tea ceremonies introduce the Way of Tea through ritual, harmony, respect, purity, and tranquillity. Each ceremony usually lasts about an hour and offers a close view of this carefully ordered tradition.
During the annual Japanfest, special demonstrations connect the tea house with a wider cultural exchange. The small building’s position behind the museum makes the contrast memorable: a Japanese place of calm beside Munich’s busy urban life.
