Our tour guide Akito did a fantastic job. During the tastings, tour of the farm and description and explanation of the tea production process. No room for improvement. Thanks Akito! love from Canada

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!!

We had a lovely time on our tour of the tea farm. Akito was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the tea farming practices, tasting different types of tea, and touring the factory. The beautiful drive up to the tea farm and the stunning views of the surrounding mountains was definitely a highlight.

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.

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!
