It is a museum to Sen no Rikyu(Influencial in the Way of Tea) and writer Yosano Akiko. Both are very famous historical figures that were born in Sakai. The museum is called Sakai Risho no Mori and it is a very modern building that is beautifully and spaciously designed. The museum is ¥300 and well worth it as their is Wifi Guidance in English, Potonhua, Hangul, and Taiwanese Chinese. Although it is nice to see historical artifacts, nothing is more powerful and amazing than being able to experience a genuine tea ceremony at the site. It is not highly advertised, but to the left of the ticket counters here is a tea room. For just ¥500 one can experience a tea ceremony in one of the 3 main Rikyu styles of tea ceremonies. Just amazing!

Sakai Plaza of Rikyu and Akiko is a very wholesome museum to experience. The staff are very helpful and kind. Many speak very good English. My favorite was the Sakai Taian. It is a very peaceful and humbling experience. The VR experience is very good and comfortable. The tea ceremony a beautiful surprise. It is very important for women to learn about Yosano Akiko. I highly recommend this beautiful place. You will also love the variety in the gift shop!

If you want to know more about Sen no Rikyu, grand tea master and founder of the Senke family of tea ceremony schools, it can be an interesting place for you. Sakai is the place where Chanoyu, the Japanese traditional ceremony, started. Actually, you can enjoy a nice cup of matcha (green tea) and some okashi (sweets) just made by their masters if you apply for their tea experience. The tea and sweets are delicious and the masters are really friendly.

夏休み初日、モンスターハンターコラボ企画を観るために行ってきました。施設が出来た時から行こうと思って行けてなかったので良い機会でした。千利休も与謝野晶子も興味あり。 建物に入ると、なにかせわしない感じ？初めて来たのでわからなかったけど後でわかると納得の状況。この日、来場者２００万人突破だったんですね。展示観終えて出ようとしたところ、丁度２００万人目の方がくす玉割ってお祝いされてました。おめでとうございましたー。 モンハン展では『刃物の町・堺』として協力製作したゲーム内で使用される太刀の再現展示が目玉です。ごつい！イメージとしてはもっと薄い刀身ですが。やはりあの技術の再現は難しいか。。他、６種の実物大鎧、モンスターや武器防具やキャラのコンセプトアート、上手に焼ける（たｗ）肉ｗ。鎧は細かい意匠や後ろ側の造りもじっくり観て欲しいです。スゴい！（立入禁止区画は守ろう！）それとリアルで昔使われていた鎧・刀・鉄砲の併設展示もされていて「やっぱ２次元はイイな」ってヲタれる内容でしたｗ。特別展示室の外でも武器が２振りありますので順路に従って廻ってみてください。入場特典にはゲームで使えるアイテムのダウンロードコード付きステッカー、プチイベントでアイルーを探せるとコラボカードももらえます。かわいい。イベントグッズの販売もありますが多くは既に品切。本日再入荷した物もありましたがこれらも無くなるのは時間の問題でしょう。アイルーのハニワ装備アクリルキーホルダー、買っとけば良かったな。。 千利休・与謝野晶子にまつわる『各』常設展では、教科書でしか見たことがなかった彼らのもっと多くのことや、彼らと堺との関わり、彼らによってもより栄えることになった堺のこと、などを知ることが出来ます。現代技術を駆使した展示内容もあり見応えあります。（読めなかったのもあるけど）直筆の書簡とかもありホロリとさせられるのもありました。こちらもゆっくり観て廻って欲しいです。 敷地内には『スターバックスコーヒー』と『梅の花』もあります。前者は言わずと知れたお店ですがお店のデザインコンセプトがここならではって感じがします。後者は知る人ぞ知る豆腐料理の店です。別のお店で食事したことありますが美味しかったです。記念日等でのご利用がおすすめ（高級ですので）。一息つくにはスタバ、遠方からなら梅の花を、是非利用されてはいかがでしょうか。（遠方からなら、市内にはいろいろな食事処もありますので事前に調べておくのもおすすめします。） あー！ 鎧来て太刀振り回したい！ 三千家のお点前頂戴したい！ 羊羮食べたい！

Nice museum to learn about the history of tea ceremony and tea house. There’s an English tablet available for the exhibitions. The Akiko exhibit (Level2) is especially useful if you have gone to the Genji museum in Uji, Kyoto, as Akiko translated this famous tale into modern context. Museum staff are friendly and helpful

A brief yet extensive history about Sakai, two most mentioned are the arrival of the Dutch and the heroine Poet of the area. Really recommend if you like museums and history. They do accommodate for english only speakers, but the staff try their best to give your a tour themselves. Shout out to my homie Hideki Fuji.
