    What\u2019s the best way to meet new people in Japan you ask? A traditional tea ceremony! Called chanoyu<\/em>, the central concept of this centuries-old practice is to allow a \u201conce in a lifetime encounter<\/em>\u201d so get ready to be blown away. Also, don\u2019t miss out on all the other activities Sakura La An offers every day: learn more about kimonos, take a chance at Japanese calligraphy or immerse yourself in the book collection you can find in the common room while sipping a \u2013 free \u2013 cup of coffee on the sunny terrace. Once you\u2019ve had a good dose of cosiness, put on your dancing shoes and head to Dotonbori, which is just 15 minutes away. Not bad, huh?<\/p>\n
