Myself, my husband, and my teenage son enjoyed this tour thoroughly. Masa-san along with two other guides were so warm and knowledgeable. It was no doubt one of our top highlights of our Japan trip. We laughed so much because everybody were so happy and had such a great sense of humor. We laughed through matcha and miso and lunch and castle and history. We learned so much and had so much fun doing it. Such a wonderful place with such kind people. I hope to come back with my daughter soon! Thank you so much Masa-san and your colleagues!!! 🙏

Yoshiko was a great guide. We did so much in the short time we had together. She was so nice and eager to share the history of Uji and matcha with us.

Learning about gyokuro and Shizuoka’s tea culture was eye-opening.
I had never tasted tea prepared this way before.
The guide’s pride in her hometown made the day especially enjoyable.
The tea terrace was the highlight of the experience.
Highly recommended for serious tea fans seeking something off the beaten path.

The private tea session on the mountain terrace was truly special.
Tasting gyokuro in such a peaceful setting felt luxurious and unique.
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, striking a good balance between explanation and quiet enjoyment.
More shade on the terrace would improve comfort.
Overall, a memorable experience for tea lovers.

We enjoyed a wonderful tour visiting nishio with all the highlights such as a matcha factory tour, making matcha, visiting tea fields, traditional lunch in a traditional japenese restaurant, a miso factory and making our own miso, the castle and a japanese tea house. Masa was the best tour guide accompanied by a member of the tourism center of nishio. They were very friendly, experienced and welcoming. We learned so much about japan and all the specialities of nishio and can truly recommend booking this tour. It is a highlight of our trip to japan and we will always remember this day.
Nishio Matcha Tea Tour in Aichi: From Farm to Teahouse

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a more personalised experience. My husband and I were travelling with our 3 young adult daughters. We are all "foodies", and my daughters are very keen on Matcha. We had looked at other tours offered in more "touristy" regions such as Kyoto and Uji. The Nishio tour was far better value for money and avoided the crowds. This took us to a region in Japan that we might not have looked at without being drawn there by the Matcha tour.
This tour gives a detailed look at Matcha production from farm to finished product. It's very informative and wonderful opportunity to purchase high grade product. It also provides instruction on how to correctly make Matcha tea, with a knowledgeable teacher.
The extra bonus of this tour is the visit to the Miso producer. The generations old Miso barrels and learning about its production, then being able to take the finished product home. The price of the tour also included a delicious, quality, Japanese lunch. They also managed to squeeze in some sightseeing and history of the area, with a quick museum visit and another tea and sweets in a traditional teahouse. There is so much included in this tour to mention it all.
Through all of this we were expertly guided by our two welcoming, friendly, very knowledgeable local guides. They were very patient and flexible and clearly enjoyed being able to share the best of Nishio with us. We wish we had time to explore more of the Nishio region.

Hosts Iwase, Kobayashi and Hozumi were extremely hospitable, professional and knowledgeable. All employees, including the showroom and restaurant staff, warmly welcomed us upon our arrival and created a comfortable, inviting, family-like environment throughout the tour. Host Iwase and Kobayashi spoke English which was quite helpful. We were able to experience the authentic tea leaf picking attire during the tea farm experience and Mr. Kobayashi graciously offered to help us take photos and videos. Nakano Sensei guided us through the Aoi Seicha factory sharing with us a wealth of information about matcha and allowed each of us the opportunity to participate in the actual tea leaf grinding that produces matcha powder. We were quite impressed by Nakano Sensei’s tea ceremony lesson and tea tasting. This was not only a beautiful cultural experience but also a fun, educational event our whole family thoroughly enjoyed. Many thanks for a wonderful and memorable day.
Nishio Matcha Tea Farm Tour, Tasting and Tea Ceremony in Aichi

We had such a great time! It was just my husband and myself, but we were kept easily entertained by the guides along the way. We were taught how to drink matcha as part of a tea ceremony and then brought to a miso park and got to take miso home. Tour of the castle grounds was beautiful. All in all a wonderful experience we will recommend to all we know.

We had such a great time on this tour and had so much wonderful food. Hannah G. was an excellent guide! We were especially appreciative of her knowledge of vegetarian options. Also, she shared great tips on eating vegetarian as we traveled and even recommended a signature dish for the next prefecture we were headed to. And the tea surprise to finish the tour was such a special experience. Highly recommended.
