We had a lovely time on our tour of the tea farm. Akito was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the tea farming practices, tasting different types of tea, and touring the factory. The beautiful drive up to the tea farm and the stunning views of the surrounding mountains was definitely a highlight.

I had a lot of fun experiencing tea ceremony and playing the Japanese instrument. The place was very cozy, and Noriko, our host, created a very relaxing atmosphere. I also had a chance to wear a Japanese traditional kimono as an optional service. We took lots of photos to capture wonderful memories! Thanks Noriko for such a wonderful moment!

Huge thanks to Kaori for hosting us at her wagashi school. We learnt how to make Dango, strawberry 🍓 Daifuku and wagashi. Also had them with matcha the traditional way and hojicha tea after. She was really patient with us and we were there for 3 hrs. It was a fun activity to do with my 12yr old daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Kaori also shared she does kids classes and will be teaching onigiris next. She gifted us tea and calligraphy and we could take home leftovers after the class. Can't wait to be back on our next trip. Her plc is not far from Mitaka station and is near Ghibli museum so def worth a trip if u r in the area.

These experiences allow you to savor the diversity of wagashi while ensuring every bite adheres to vegan procedures and ingredients.

Unique Vegan Wagashi Workshops and Tasting Tours
