"Take a day trip from Tokyo to the tea fields of Sayama in Saitama Prefecture, where you can learn about local tea culture by meeting farmers, touring the tea plantations, and enjoying fresh brews."
Tour century-old tea fields and enjoy light bites and refreshments
Meet your guide at Shin-Sayama Station for a full day exploring Saitama’s tea culture
Enjoy the scenic tea plantations and visit a traditional Japanese house
Savor tea and a light meal included in the experience
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.
Here, you will enjoy light refreshments and take commemorative photos. After that, you will have the opportunity to tour a tea factory that is usually closed to the public, before you visit a traditional Japanese-style house where tea farmers live to interact with the farmers and enjoy fresh tea.

Kenichi is kind and knowledgeable about all things tea! Our experience felt personal and as though a lot of care went into making sure our tour was meaningful. A nice break from the busyness of metro Japan. Highly recommended for anyone, especially tea enjoyers.
