Shizuoka Vegetarian Food Tours(6)

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.

Heartwarming tour of Shizuoka, and in-depth tour of the beautiful mountain-side tea plants with the highly knowledgeable Akito. Thank you for the amazing tour!

Fantastic tour of the tea industry and surrounds in Shizuoka. This is definitely a full day event - I would recommend leaving time after to explore Shizuoka before you head off. The tour was great, hosted by the amazing Akito - who ensured we had a great day travelling through some amazing tea farms, a tea factory, and various Shizuoka stores and points of interest. We loved learning about the process of making the wide range of Japanese teas and experiencing the widely varying flavour profiles of each. Great for those interested in food or Japanese culture or just for a truly unique day out!

Wonderful tasting, great guide that spoke excellent english! Tea tasting was very nice with different types of tea and information about how to make them yourself :-)

We were not 100% sure what to expect with this tour but it was such a fun and unique experience. There could be a bit more detail in the tour description but nothing that could change our minds on the amazing time we had! Everyone from our guide who picked us up at the train station to the farmer who shared his harvest with us, to our camp hosts were amazing. The tour gave us a great view into the Japanese countryside that we would have never seen otherwise. Waking up in the morning, opening up the tent to look out and see Mt Fuji was a moment we will never forget.
