Japanese Tea Farm Tours

Incredible and very wholesome day with Akito. Akito is an incredible host taking us through the fields, answering all our questions, preparing for us the most beautiful teas and also a factory visit. I could not recommend it more, I hope to be back when I’m next I. Japan

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!!! 🙏

Akito is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. The tea farm and factory tour was educational and fun. We even were joined by his father which was a nice treat. I would highly recommend this tour to any tea lover who wants in depth information and a great tea tasting.

I can't express what an incredible time we had. We visited in October, and despite the cloudy weather, the views from the farm were absolutely breathtaking and something I will never forget. Akito was such an incredible guide! He took the time to answer our questions and share his knowledge about the farm, the factory and tea! He even told us about "tea salad", which is something we now do all the time with out tea leaves 🍃 (But you have to do the tour to learn the secret!) I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, and I urge anyone in the area to take the tour and see all it has to offer!

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.

お茶体験に関心があり、埼玉から伺いました！山と川と茶畑のコントラストが素晴らしく、ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができました。 同じ茶葉から様々な飲み物になること、温度や淹れ方によって味わいが変わることなど、大変興味深いお話ばかりでした。 いただいた煎茶、ほうじ茶、和紅茶はどれもおいしかったです。 どの時期に行ってもそれぞれ違った楽しみ方ができると思います。ありがとうございました！

お茶に関するたくさんの魅力を知ることができる体験です！ お茶の淹れ方、育て方、製造方法等、短時間でお茶の魅力を存分に味わえます。 テイスティングは種類や淹れ方の異なるお茶を体験でき、また人生初のお茶サラダを食べることができました。 akitoさんはお茶の知識も豊富で、とても心地よいパーソナリティの方でした！

The tea tour at Shizuoka Farm was great and very informative. Akito is such a down to earth type of guy and explained everything well. We discussed different kinds of tea, visited the farm, took pictures, tried samples, went to factory, roasted tea, and bought some teas. The farm location has a great panoramic views of the hills and the city. The ride was not far from Shizouka station which makes it convenient to go to by bus or car. You will get a free pick up by car on your visit and drop off to the nearest bus stop. I highly recommend this tour.

It was just 2 of us during the tour as it was off peak season for tea plantation. However, it was a very informal and private tour hosted by Akito-san. He was very knowledgeable and informative about tea, the tea plantation and he provided photo and videos to supplement his explanation. Kudos to his command of English which was good. He was also friendly and allowed us to try many types of tea. We really enjoyed the experience.

Spectacular! Fantastic! Exceeded expectations in every way! If you want more from your time in Japan, whether visiting for a short time or a long time resident, this is a MUST DO experience! Akito shares with you his wealth of tea knowledge, an intimate look into Shizuoka tea history and so much more. So glad we booked this experience, definitely one we will remember with every cup of tea we enjoy! Thank you Akito!

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.
