Higashi Chaya

After being a little disapointed with the other tea district, we knew we had to be missing something, so we headed over towards the other tea district. On our way, we crossed a giant bridge. On the banks of the river below, was grass! Tons of rolling grass covering the bank. Thankfully, Len and Cori understood my need to see real grass again (as you never see it here!)So down we went, to play and frolic in the grass. And I did, like a kid - I slipped my shoes off and ran up and down the hills without a care in the world. It was great! After myfrolicking, we ran into this nice dog which was a black lab, and tied up outside a house. It was so unbelivably adorable. We spent a lot of time petting it and rubbing its tummy!Finally, we made it to Higashi Chaya, which was a lot bigger than the other tea district. It had beautiful houses on either side of the streets, stretching along for a while. It had cute little shops and museums too. We headed into one museum, which was about the history of tea, and the lent us a cool orange umbrella so we could take our photo outside!
