Koichi and Kyoko were the perfect hosts. Koichi picked us up from the station and drove us around the area while stopping here and there to taste tea, enjoy nature, etc. My friend and I were then given a tour of a tea factory before getting lunch at an observatory where we could see Mt. Fuji. We then helped a couple of the local tea farmers with their work as we learned about how they cultivate and harvest the tea leaves. The farmers were super sweet and patient with us as we fumbled around the field and even gave us snacks during breaks. Once the work was done, we went to our accommodations for the night where Koichi and Kyoko prepared a traditional Kaiseki dinner and breakfast for us. Both meals were delicious and beautiful. All in all, it was an enlightening day and we will never look at tea the same way ever again. The amount of work and dedication that go into the production of tea is both impressive and humbling, and we really appreciated being given a glimpse into their world. If you ever come to Japan, I highly recommend booking this experience as a part of your trip.

I was really impressed by this class! It is hard being vegan in Japan so it was nice to learn how many traditional dishes can easily be made vegan! Akiko is such a nice host. Very interesting to learn about all types of vegan sushi that can be made, compared to the Western World versions!
