Japanese Tea House

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of birdsong, stepping outside to breathe in the crisp morning air, and gazing over rolling English meadows that stretch as far as the eye can see. At Amberlea Japanese House, we invite you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the simple beauty of Japanese living—all while wrapped in the warmth of a home away from home.

🌿 A Home Steeped in Tradition & Nature

We’ve created Amberlea with love and care, blending authentic Japanese design with the peaceful charm of the English countryside. Every detail, from the tatami flooring to the softly glowing shoji screens, is designed to bring a sense of calm, balance, and harmony to your stay.
• 🔥 Gather Around the Irori Fire – The heart of our home is the open irori fire, a traditional sunken hearth where we can sit together, sip warm tea, and enjoy simple moments of peace. In the evening, the flickering firelight makes for the perfect place to unwind, share stories, or even cook a meal together.
• 🌸 Step into the Japanese Garden – Outside, the tranquil Japanese garden welcomes you with winding stone paths, bamboo rustling in the breeze, and a serene koi pond reflecting the changing sky. It’s a space to just be, whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or watching the cherry blossoms drift in the wind.
• 🌾 A Window to the English Countryside – Beyond the garden, endless meadows, grazing horses, and golden sunsets create a stunning backdrop to your stay. Whether it’s spring’s fresh bloom, summer’s lush greens, autumn’s golden glow, or winter’s crisp frost, every season brings a new kind of magic.
• 🕊️ Embrace the Rhythm of Nature – From the morning chorus of birds to the soft hoot of an owl at night, nature envelops you here. It’s the perfect place to escape the noise of the world and find stillness in the present moment.

One of the greatest joys of your stay is the food—a carefully crafted experience that celebrates seasonal ingredients, traditional techniques, and the beauty of slow, mindful eating.

🇯🇵 A Taste of Japan

If you choose our Japanese dining experience, you’ll enjoy:
🍣 Handmade sushi & delicate tempura, prepared with fresh ingredients
🔥 Robata-style open-fire cooking, where grilled fish and warm rice balls are made over the irori
🍜 A steaming bowl of ramen, rich with umami and comforting on a chilly evening
🍵 Freshly whisked matcha or premium sake, sipped slowly as you watch the sun set

🇻🇳 A Journey to Vietnam

Or, if you’d prefer the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, we’ll prepare:
🍜 A fragrant bowl of pho, slow-simmered with fresh herbs and spices
🥗 Crispy banh xeo (Vietnamese pancakes) and refreshing goi cuon (fresh spring rolls)
☕ Traditional Vietnamese coffee, bold and rich, served hot or iced

Each meal is prepared with love, just like you would experience in a traditional Japanese or Vietnamese home. We welcome you not as guests, but as friends, sharing food, stories, and warmth together.

tay, Your Sanctuary

At Amberlea Japanese House, we want you to feel at home. Whether you’re gathering around the irori, strolling through the garden, or simply sitting in quiet reflection, this is a space for rest, connection, and deep appreciation for life’s simple moments.


If you’d like to make your stay even more special, we can arrange a private tea ceremony, a calligraphy session, or even a mindfulness meditation by the garden. Just let us know—we’d love to create a truly unforgettable experience for you.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Amberlea Japanese House—a place of warmth, beauty, and peace. 🍃🏯✨
