農場之旅

Wow, wow, wow! 15/10! Everyone who goes to Japan has to do this! Not just the tea-leave picking and little sightseeing with Koichi was great, I had the most excellent and traditional fantastic meals (lunch AND breakfast) I had in Japan! These two are so kind and I absolutely loved them!

Great experience with David. This really is a personal experience and very interesting!

AMAZING experience! Highly recommend to anyone interested in wasabi (or a fun getaway from Tokyo). David is knowledgeable about a multitude of topics and his generosity was greatly appreciated. Both varieties of wasabi are insanely delicious (and he let us eat a lot of it!).

Akito was an amazingly gracious and knowledgeable host. We had such a great time at the tea farm and factory and learning everything about tea. If you are ever visiting Shizuoka, this is a must try experience. This has been my favorite part of our trip to Japan! Thanks Akito!

This was an incredible experience and a highlight of my trip! David went above and beyond to accommodate my agricultural interests and make the experience as fulfilling as possible. The area is so peaceful and beautiful to see and try wasabi, I would recommend to anyone!

Absolutely amazing experience. David is such a passionate person that opens his secluded farm and shows what real wasabi is. This is very unique opportunity to try a specialty product in great company. Thank you.

A wonderfully eye-opening experience from Akito, where he not only taught us about tea, from growing it all the way to preparing it, but also talked about the state and future of the tea industry in Shizuoka and Japan as a whole. Between visiting the fields, touring a rare co-op factory, and tasting a variety of teas, we were impressed not only by Akito's knowledge about tea and the local area, but also the skill with which he was able to craft the perfect cup, dialing in the temperature and infusions with just his senses. A true master! Whether you have a burgeoning curiosity about tea or already a seasoned lover, this tour is a must!

This was a fantastic experience! Koichi and Kyoko are very kind people with a lovely home. It was very kind of them to pick us up at the train station. The tour was very informative, and we enjoyed picking tea leaves. There's something special about eating something that you picked. The food was incredibly gourmet. I recommend this experience to anyone.

Nana-san was an amazing guide who translated everything perfectly into English! The staff and faculty of Aoi seicha were very kind, generous, and explained everything in simple easy-to-understand terms. Everyone was very accommodating and I couldn’t have ask for more. Thank you again for an amazing experience!

Our wonderful hosts showed us how tea is processed from bush to drink and made us 2 stunning seasonal meals using tea in different forms that we had picked ourselves. A unique experience in the Japanese countryside We appreciated the warm hospitality

This was the most incredible travel experience I have ever had in my life!!! Koichi-san and Kyoko-san are so incredibly kind, and Koichi-san is the PERFECT guide! He brought us to so many interesting places, and we had so many cups of incredible tea. (We lost count after 15 hahaha). Their home is absolutely gorgeous as a beautiful traditional Japanese home but also with modern amenities like modern bathroom and AC. It was a beautiful, and we were so so comfortable. We loved every part of the experience. The best part was their outstanding homemade cooking. I will be having dreams about how good it was!! So artfully plated - incredible aesthetic but also so delicious and unique. Out of everything we did in our 2 week vacation around Japan, this stood out the most, and we are telling all our friends about this experience. Highly, highly recommend!! It doesn't get better than this!!

It was lovely to be hosted at David’s wasabi farm, I learned a lot, ate delicious wasabi and had a peaceful day. It’s a beautiful place. Thank you!
