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!

Shizuoka Tea Tour

Considering that Shizuoka produces 40% of green tea in Japan, it’s no surprise that Japanese green tea is the most famous and prized product hailing from the Shizuoka Prefecture. Nestled between Tokyo and Nagoya, beautiful landscapes full of green tea fields are found glowing throughout the Shizuoka region. Located at the base of Mount Fuji, Shizuoka is a great place to make matcha for its clean, quality waters, plus plenty of room to grow quality tea leaves in the vast and fertile tea fields. Discover the rural landscapes of the Shizuoka region as you learn all about green tea during an immersive Shizuoka tea tour. Escape into the countryside, take a break from city life and experience what it's like from harvest to production to the first sip! During a Shizuoka tea tour, you could even find yourself experiencing a tranquil Japanese tea ceremony and learn how to prepare matcha green tea for yourself. Or, wander through the tea fields, visit a production factory, and enjoy tasting locally-made green tea with a tea-themed lunch. As an easy day trip from Tokyo, there’s no better place to try Japanese tea than Shizuoka.
