The experience was wonderful!
There were two of us and the visit with Akito was very pleasant and informative.
Akito is a kind and sociable person.
He told us his story while traveling by car to the farm and, once we arrived, he explained to us how the cultivation and harvesting of tea leaves works.
The view of the ordered rows along the mountain slope is amazing! From here you can also enjoy the view of Shizuoka.
We had the tea tasting directly inside the plantation.
It was very interesting to learn about new flavors and listen to Akito's explanations on how the taste of tea varies with different water temperatures.
In the factory Akito replicated the drying process with a miniature machine and we had another tasting combined with mochi that enhanced the tea flavor. Then we visited the production area where he explained to us how the traditional hand process is replicated with machinery.
Before saying goodbye we purchased some tea they produced.
We recommend this experience to all people who want to discover the art and knowledge behind a cup of sencha.

Kyoto Tea Farm Tour, Tasting, and Lunch in Scenic Wazuka
Food Tours
Our mochi class with Satoko-san was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we stepped into her cozy studio, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. Satoko-san's friendly demeanor and passion for sharing her culture shone through every aspect of the class.
Throughout the session, not only did we learn the intricate art of making mochi, but Satoko-san also took the time to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture and tradition. From the significance of mochi in celebratory events like New Year's to its symbolic importance in weddings and other ceremonies, we gained a deeper appreciation for the role mochi plays in Japanese life.
What truly set this experience apart was Satoko-san's ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. As we crafted our own mochi under her expert guidance, she shared stories of how this centuries-old delicacy has evolved to suit contemporary tastes and lifestyles. From innovative flavor combinations to creative presentation ideas, we discovered a whole new world of mochi beyond the traditional varieties.
By the end of the class, not only did we learn the art of mochi-making, but we also left with a newfound understanding of Japanese culture and customs. The experience was not just about food; it was a journey of cultural immersion and appreciation.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Satoko-san's mochi class highly enough. Whether you're a food enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or s

This tour was absolutely amazing! The view of Shizuoka from the tea farm was breathtaking, and it goes without saying that the tea farm itself was beautiful. Moreover, not only was Akito very accommodating, but also extremely knowledgeable on the tea; from the industry and production, to its culture and current trends. The things I learned from Akito has greatly enhanced my tea drinking experience. Also, highly recommend picking up some of the sencha and kukicha at the tea factory.
