Question
I’m visiting Japan for the first time and I’d like to try traditional Japanese tea. How do I ask “Where can I find a teahouse?” in Japanese?

Where can I find a teahouse?
In Japan, experiencing a teahouse is a wonderful way to enjoy traditional culture and fine teas. Ocha means “tea” and mise refers to a “shop” or “store.” The phrase “doko ni arimasu ka” means “where is it located?” You can use this sentence pattern to find other types of places by replacing ocha with what you’re looking for. Enjoy discovering the taste and tradition of Japanese tea!
