🫖Japan’s Former British Consulate 🎌🇬🇧
🫖Would you have tea in a former British consulate? I was amazed to find this super authentic tea room when traveling around Japan!
🫖 At tearoom Liz, on the 2nd floor (wheelchair lift available), you can have an afternoon tea set, or just tea or snacks. Everything was SO good, especially the scones! 🤤
📜On the first floor and outer building, you can see some historical displays.
🇬🇧The consulate closed in 1940 due to worsening war relations, and was repurposed various times, but was later restored to its consulate state. Now you can learn history.
🇯🇵Located in Japan’s western city Shimonoseki, this town is actually full of history and sights to see! I’ll post more soon, so be sure to follow!
