I came across a neat place while word googling for that place too.

To the Japanese, tea ceremonies are a significant custom that speak of their very culture and values, it represents Sen no Rikyu’s principles of purity, tranquility, harmony and respect. With this philosophy in mind, it is no wonder that architect Terunobu Fujimori has created a tea house devoted to the intricate practice of tea making and drinking. The structure is a 2.7 square metre building padded with bamboo mats and made of plaster and bamboo. To reach it guests must climb a ladder leaning against one of two chestnut tree trunks. The refuge amongst the trees of Chino makes for a perfect place to surrender to calmness and meditation, the ideal elements associated with tea ceremonies.
