The popular afternoon tea can be enjoyed at the Ascot Tea Room .

Of course, they will be able to help you in Japanese, so you don't have to worry, but the atmosphere will make you stand up straight.

It looks expensive so I'm worried about the price!

In addition to this, there is also a menu with affordable prices, and there are several types available, so you can have fun choosing.

You can have it at Ascot Tea Room for about ¥1,250 to ¥2,600.

Is it basically a hotel? I’m not sure if I can enjoy it even if I don’t stay overnight.

Even if you don't stay overnight, you'll still want to see the manor house.
