Highly recommend! Such a lovely experience. The people at Obubu tea farm were so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a bit of a journey to get to the farm, but it’s a beautiful trip and once you arrive it’s a great four hours! We got up into the tea fields, tried nine of their beautiful teas with great information about each, had a delicious lunch and enjoyed learning about their processing facilities. A great day all around, our favorite thing we did this visit to Japan.

What a lovely day at the tea farm. I feel like we had an advanced degree in tea. Being able to taste nine teas was wonderful. We did not know all tea is from the same plant, but the differences are in how they are harvested and processed determine the type of tea. Seeing the tea plants up on the mountain was awe-inspiring. We loved meeting all of the interns that worked there from all over the world. Highly recommend this!

I signed up for this tour because I like matcha and I thought I'd learn more about it at a farm where tea is grown. I learned so much more about that! This tour introduced me to different teas, how they're grown, and which ones I like. I also enjoyed meeting other tea loving travelers. It wasn't easy getting out to Wazuka but it was totally worth the effort!

The people at Obubu Tea Farm are not only obsessed with tea, but they’re obsessed with you! They were all so welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable and excited to share their knowledge with you. Also you’re tasting delicious teas throughout the entire day. I’m so so so glad I took this tour. Quick heads up for anyone who has fears about being driven on narrow, bumpy roads… the ride up to the top of the tea farm may seem precarious but the driver knows what he’s doing. He could drive these fields with his eyes closed. And as far as accessibility goes - there was a portion at the top of the fields where you have to hike up a pretty steep but very short (probably less than a minute) road to get to the viewpoint. Idk what they would or could do to accommodate anyone with a disability but I would just ask because, like I said earlier, they care so much about you!
