    Even though I could extrapolate where this is, since I live in NYC, I imagine you can't just waltz in there, and that you would need a reservation? Or a good reason to make a reservation? There isn't a name either, so I highly doubt that there will suddenly be a large influx of guests, for those commenters saying people will go "ruin" it now.

    I have a Japanese friend. You go to his house, he has on jeans and a t-shirt, newspapers and magazines scattered around, Disney characters on the wall, a window is open and the neighbor is mowing his lawn, he offers you a cup of tea, boils some water on the stove in a pot with a whistle that sounds like Popeye's pipe, he pours your tea in a Dunkin' Donuts cup, and serves it with some Oreos. Very pleasant, very normal, sans hype and sizzle, probably more like real human beings do it in Japan than this video. And I bet way cheaper, too. Peace out.

      @Katrina M The ceremony is not mostly about the tea (he said so in the video). It's about hospitality and quieting one's mind to notice things, such as the sound of the water boiling, and perhaps the birds, if there are birds. It's not to be pretentious, it's to be mindful, to be deliberate and focused in the present moment.
      As far as the rooms themselves, that is typical Japanese type ambience. You don't have to like it. 😁
