The Yamamoto-tei is a rare, semi-Western building built in the late Taisho, early Showa eras at the beginning of the 20th century. A view of the garden, with its own waterfall, man-made hill and pond, can be enjoyed from the house while sipping a cup of powdered green tea or coffee (available for a fee). Japanese-style rooms (with 6, 8, and 10 tatami mats) and a tearoom are also available for rent. (Japanese tea sets are available for free of charge) Applications for the use of the facilities must be made three months ahead. A drawing takes place at Yamamoto-tei on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. (If that day falls on a public holiday, the drawing will be made on the following day). Applications after the drawing date can be made directly at the Yamamoto-tei or Technoplaza Katsushika for processing on a first-come first-served basis.
