Tsuen is there right along the river and lots of other small tea shops. Plus, you can go to Taiho-an, (the municipal teahouse...don't you wish your town had one of those?
) pay 500 yen, and have your own private tea ceremony. Don't forget to visit Byodo-in Temple which is right next door.
Do they have a dress code?
Like Suit&Tie or casual?..... Or Kimono?
Umm do ya know?
Anyone?

I've never been anywhere in Japan that had a dress code.

hahah, I've never felt so
under-dressed as a tourist than walking around Kyoto and especially Tokyo. Those folks sure know how to dress up, not to mention the perfectly coiffed hair. (and we are talking about girls AND guys here). luckily, I have no hair, and thus was only paying attention to clothes...

Tai Ho An was amazing thank you very much for that.
what a beautiful town that was.
I also saw Byodo-In I wanted to see the other shrines west of there but, I didn't have time.
Hopefully I will see them next time.
Its was exceedingly wonderful to be there.
