In every part of the country the chapters organize various functions independently.
These take various forms depending on the seasons. There are tea gatherings, lecture courses, study courses, exhibitions of tea utensils and visits to art museums and kilns. With the help of the local government there is also a wide range of social contributions to the area, including citizens' tea gatherings and charity tea gatherings. There are also chapters that publish a magazine 'Shibu Dayori' giving local news and information.
