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.

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.

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.

Thank you to our gracious, friendly, and informative guide Ayaka! We wandered around Uji on foot (so beautiful) and ate a green tea themed meal (delicious) then visited a temple and shrine. We had matcha ice cream (hojicha was my favorite) and then we had an informal matcha tea ceremony. We learned a lot of new information in just three hours!
