The area surrounding Ninomaru Cafe was once located in the northeastern part of the Daidairi (Imperial Palace) of Heian-kyo, and was the site of the Shuzeiryo (Bureau of Taxation), a tax and accounting office belonging to the Ministry of Finance.
Imagine yourself in the elegant court culture of the Heian period, when Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon lived, and enjoy Japanese tea that has been passed down for 1200 years.
弐の丸カフェの周辺は、かつて平安京の「大内裏（だいだいり）」の北東エリアに位置し、大蔵省に属する税務・会計の役所「主税寮（しゅぜいりょう）」があった場所です。
紫式部や清少納言が生きた平安時代、貴族たちの雅な王朝文化に思いを馳せて千二百年の時を越え、今なお受け継がれる日本のお茶をご堪能ください。
