花江茶亭は、萩藩第13代藩主毛利敬親が1845年に建てた茶室。もともと「萩城」の橋本川沿いの広大な敷地の一部である「三の丸」にあった。敬親は、ここで家臣たちと時世を論じ、国事を話し合ったといわれている。

1889年に、花江茶亭は、侍から政治家に転じた元萩藩士の品川弥次郎が率いる地域団体によって購入され、萩城跡に移築された。

The Hananoe or “flower creek” tea house was built in 1854 by Mori Takachika (1819–1871), the thirteenth lord of the Choshu domain. It was originally located along the Hashimoto River within the San no Maru, the outermost part of Hagi Castle. Takachika would often have lively debates and political discussions during his tea ceremonies.

In 1889, the Hananoe tea house was purchased by a local group led by former samurai Shinagawa Yajiro (1843–1900) and was moved here to the vacant castle grounds for preservation.
