This experience was truly exceptional. To begin with, Akito checked in with us several times before the tour to make aure we were prepared and our preferences vis a vis lunch. He greeted us warmly, then drove us to a tea farm just outside of town with stunning views of the city and mountains. After explaining tea cultivation and an al fresco tea tasting, we visited the factory where the tea was processed. There we were educated on the steps involved and shown the elaborate machinery used to do it (which was fascinating even though it was not in use that day). Then we went to lunch, where we were given succulent tuna along with various interesting side dishes. Then we walked to a tea house specializing in single origin teas from Shizuoka and beyond. There the shop attendant served us several different types of tea, all of them distinct from each other in very interesting ways. Then we strolled through the main shopping area, stopping at a shop specializing in matcha, which had delicious gelato in seven different strengths of matcha. Then we walked back to our starting point. Throughout the tour Akito shared his vast knowledge of tea, his love for his hometown of Shizuoka. He was keen to answer any questions we had about tea or other topics, and also was curious about how we were experiencing Japan and who we were in general. Overall, it was a glorious whirlwind introduction to the world of tea and Shizuoka in general. Akito clearly loves doing this, and we greatly appreciated.

Thank you for a memorable and relaxing experience! Akito, who came from a long line of tea farmers, made the whole thing feel so personal and authentic. Walking through the beautiful tea fields, learning how the leaves are grown and processed, and interesting tea facts gave me a whole new appreciation for tea. Akito let us try different types of tea and even taught us what gives tea its umami, astringency, sweetness and bitterness. I left with some amazing tea and a newfound respect for the craft. So glad I did the tour!

Akito is very knowledgeable and professional. He showed us a local farm and explained the leaf picking process. At the factory, he explained the tea production process. We tasted tea prepared different ways, and we gained understanding of what made the teas so different. It was a very educational and enjoyable tour. The view from the mountain was incredible!

Despite the rainy and foggy weather, Akito-san was capable to light up our day! He picked us up at the station and let us have a small tour of the tea plantation (we just discovered the Camelia plants bloom in November!) explaining all the details of the harvesting (timing, methods, etc). Later we had a tea tasting session right inside the farm were the tea leaves are dried and rolled. Akito-san explained every detail from the tea refinement process to the chemical composition and how it might influence the taste. The very informal environment made us feel like home and it was such an amazing experience thanks to our host kindness and availability. Akito-san is very knowledgeable and definitely an expert in the tea sector: he was able to answer any question we might have (and we had many...thanks for the patience!). I won’t go in the details to avoid spoilers, but everything was both delicious and interesting. If you’re into tea (or just into exploring and learning), take this opportunity to discover this remote location and what the (japanese) tea actually is. We are tea lovers and we already knew more than a thing, but it turned out that we were missing huge pieces of the picture. Totally worth the money; the landscapes, the information and the tastes will be an highlight of our 3-weeks trip. Note: Akito-san definitely speaks a very good English!
