Our group of 6 had a wonderful tour of Uji on April 7! With excellent English, Terumi S. led the tour which focused on a wide variety of Matcha and Green Tea experiences. We especially liked Terumi putting tea-making in Japan in context by pointing out the differences as we went along. Even though it was raining we were able to do all of the activities indoors. I especially liked the tea ceremony where the women were in full kimono dress with Terumi translating the ritual. She went the extra mile to get us to our next appointment by riding the train with us and showing us the connection! Arigato for an exceptional tour!

Hiroe was brilliant. Thanks to her our group of grandma, mother, and daughter we got to learn a lot about Japanese culture and Matcha. It was a wonderful day walking around the really beautiful Uji area. We ate buckwheat noodles with matcha, made matcha tea and drink it, and had roasted green tea ice cream. Beautiful area and the shrine was so amazing. Hiroe was so knowledgeable about the area and she did a great job explaining in English. An absolutely wonderful day where we got to do things with Hiroe we never would have been able to understand how to do ourselves.

I took this tour because I am a huge matcha fan! I had a really excellent experience in this wonderful tour, guided by Mana. She was so friendly and informed us so much much about Uji and was knowledgeable about the areas we visited. It was really enjoyable trying different types of matcha, matcha ice cream, and green tea noodles! 10/10 tour which I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends if they visit Japan.

We booked this when we were visiting Kyoto - Uji is really close by train. Russ was our guide, he was so friendly and knowledgable. He showed us the city and taught us about matcha and stories about Japanese history and culture. We had a wonderful time touring the city with Russ - we highly recommend this tour especially if you are a tea lover. A nice half-day trip away from the crowds of tourists in Kyoto too.
