Shizuoka 清真 美食之旅

Incredible and very wholesome day with Akito. Akito is an incredible host taking us through the fields, answering all our questions, preparing for us the most beautiful teas and also a factory visit. I could not recommend it more, I hope to be back when I’m next I. Japan

Very nice tour. The guide was knowledgeable and nice.

Terrific tour! Small family-owned operation. Tea tastings, picked tea, learned about the area, very scenic. Very polite, friendly tour guide.

Myself, my daughter and husband spent time with Koichi looking at the tea plantation and learning about tea followed by some tea tasting a trip to the top of a mountain with the most spectacular Jews. We returns to his home where kyoko had prepared some light refreshments for us. We had the most wonderful afternoon and really enjoyed learning about tea and seeing the beautiful views. Koichi and Kyoko were the perfect hosts, beautiful people who did everything the could to make the afternoon enjoyable for us. We would definitely recommend for anyone who loves tea, or for anyone who just loves beautiful scenery. Thankyou Koichi and Kyoto for a wonderful afternoon ☺️

Akito is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. The tea farm and factory tour was educational and fun. We even were joined by his father which was a nice treat. I would highly recommend this tour to any tea lover who wants in depth information and a great tea tasting.

I can't express what an incredible time we had. We visited in October, and despite the cloudy weather, the views from the farm were absolutely breathtaking and something I will never forget. Akito was such an incredible guide! He took the time to answer our questions and share his knowledge about the farm, the factory and tea! He even told us about "tea salad", which is something we now do all the time with out tea leaves 🍃 (But you have to do the tour to learn the secret!) I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, and I urge anyone in the area to take the tour and see all it has to offer!

お茶体験に関心があり、埼玉から伺いました！山と川と茶畑のコントラストが素晴らしく、ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができました。 同じ茶葉から様々な飲み物になること、温度や淹れ方によって味わいが変わることなど、大変興味深いお話ばかりでした。 いただいた煎茶、ほうじ茶、和紅茶はどれもおいしかったです。 どの時期に行ってもそれぞれ違った楽しみ方ができると思います。ありがとうございました！

お茶に関するたくさんの魅力を知ることができる体験です！ お茶の淹れ方、育て方、製造方法等、短時間でお茶の魅力を存分に味わえます。 テイスティングは種類や淹れ方の異なるお茶を体験でき、また人生初のお茶サラダを食べることができました。 akitoさんはお茶の知識も豊富で、とても心地よいパーソナリティの方でした！

The tea tour at Shizuoka Farm was great and very informative. Akito is such a down to earth type of guy and explained everything well. We discussed different kinds of tea, visited the farm, took pictures, tried samples, went to factory, roasted tea, and bought some teas. The farm location has a great panoramic views of the hills and the city. The ride was not far from Shizouka station which makes it convenient to go to by bus or car. You will get a free pick up by car on your visit and drop off to the nearest bus stop. I highly recommend this tour.

It was just 2 of us during the tour as it was off peak season for tea plantation. However, it was a very informal and private tour hosted by Akito-san. He was very knowledgeable and informative about tea, the tea plantation and he provided photo and videos to supplement his explanation. Kudos to his command of English which was good. He was also friendly and allowed us to try many types of tea. We really enjoyed the experience.

Spectacular! Fantastic! Exceeded expectations in every way! If you want more from your time in Japan, whether visiting for a short time or a long time resident, this is a MUST DO experience! Akito shares with you his wealth of tea knowledge, an intimate look into Shizuoka tea history and so much more. So glad we booked this experience, definitely one we will remember with every cup of tea we enjoy! Thank you Akito!

Very interesting to learn about the different types and uses of green tea. Yamada-san is clearly passionate about his region, and his knowledge of tea is profound. He is a charming and kind host. The area is beautiful and on a clear day you can see Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended!
