A large tea house, and the biggest place of visitation and relaxation besides a spa. The Golden Lotus stands large and proud, usually bustling with all sorts of visitors at most hours. Friendly older individuals come in for tea during the morning and many hard workers unwind in the evening, with a busy blend of both throughout the day. The establishment has a number of sitting rooms with several tables and many sitting cushions each. Some rooms are bigger with a slightly elevated stage for entertainment, and there are even tables set up along the veranda halls on the side of the building - overlooking the Ishiwata lake.

The first stop Ronin would make in the city was the Golden Lotus, a sort of retreat. Since entering the city the ronin tucked his daisho into his obi, and then folded the kimono over them so to hide them. He did not want anyone to think he was here to cause trouble. His travel papers were tucked into his obi as well; he did not want to lose them, and they would certainly prove useful in the future.
Ronin gave a short glance around to see who in all was in the room. He minded his business and sat down at an empty table. Perhaps one of the servers would bring him something to drink or eat. He had enough coin on him to last a few days as long as he conserved it.
Until a servant approached him Ronin tuned his ears to listen out for any rumors or remarks.

It wouldn't be long after Ronin seated himself that a servant shuffled over to his table to take an order - should he want anything, of course. It wasn't all too odd for some folks to come and sit and rest in the teahouse - it was a bit of a simple retreat, for some, given the serene environment. The place held a quiet buzz from other patrons in the place. At least in the daytime it was a bit more refined compared to the evening, when most were indulging in more sake than tea.
Assuming Ronin placed an order for anything, the young and flustered servant would quickly scurry off to bring him what he desired - the poor girl smiling from ear to ear as she looked the guest over a time or two. What a handsome man. For the moment, there wasn't too much in loud chatter - gossip was little to be had for the time being. But a young woman appeared a little while later to seat herself on a small stage at one end of the room, settling a shamisen instrument in her lap to begin playing to entertain those present. A quaint establishment, certainly.

"Tea, please, and some rice," Ronin would tell the servant girl. He grinned at her and spoke in a friendlier tone than before, offering her some encouragement.
As she scurried off the masterless samurai watched another young woman take the stage with an instrument. He observed her from his seat and if she looked his way he would slightly grin and nod his head.
"Thank you, girl, you are most kind," he'd tell the servant when she came back with his food. He would relax for the moment, eating his food and sipping his tea as the shamisen's melody filled the room. Occasionally he'd glance at Ishiwata Lake.
It was serene here; calm. Even with the bustling of visitors, Ronin found much-needed tranquility here.
He would spend some time here and perhaps seek work or information later.
