Experience Details
While Sayama isn’t necessarily the top tick in most Japan travel itineraries, this area is a raw gem waiting to be discovered.
A little over an hour from central Tokyo, the rolling tea fields of Sayama
make it a fascinating place to discover Japan’s tea culture. This experience invites you to take a day trip from Tokyo to discover the charms of Sayama.
Your host, a friendly English-speaking guide, will meet you at Shin-Sayama Station. You’ll then explore the town together, walking through the quaint residential streets, until you reach your first stop for the day: a tea farm that has stood for over 100 years, where you can stroll the fields and learn about tea production.
