Our tea tour with Akito was so wonderful! We stopped in Shizuoka on our way to Kyoto. Akito picked us up from the station and took us for a short drive into the mountains, through bamboo forests and mandarin groves, to the tea farm. The views were absolutely stunning, and the farm was very peaceful after the city. Akito had extremely good English and was very knowledgeable and passionate about tea. We learned a lot despite being big tea fans already! The weather was lovely, so we drank tea on the farm, and even though the factory wasn’t operating, we still got to see inside! Would highly recommend this experience!!
