In this activity, you will go to Shizuoka, which is well-known as a production center of green tea in Japan. I may not always be around, but one of my family members will be more than happy to take you around our farm! This is a 5-hour tour around the tea plantations in Shizuoka prefecture. 【Tea Plantation】 The host will guide you to the top of the mountain and tell you the history and production methods of the organic tea plantation founded in 1975. If the weather's nice, you can see great scenery such as Mt. Fuji, bay, peninsula and a bird's eye view of the city. 【Organic Lunch】 After visiting the tea plantation, you will have lunch at the tea farmhouse. This lunch will be traditional food cooked with local fresh organic ingredients. 【Black Tea Factory】 After the lunch, you will visit the tea factory. We started to produce domestic black tea 20 years ago. In 2000, we became the first company in Japan to import the proper facility to produce black tea from Sri Lanka. 【Taste Tea】 Finally, there will be tea-tasting of green tea, black tea,etc. We will teach you how to make delicious tea too. Join me for a taste of Japanese tea, its culture, and the authentic lifestyle of the Japanese tea farmers! *Please note that due to seasonal harvesting we won't be able to host you everyday, so please contact us before you make any reservation. Do not hesitate to send us a message too if you have further questions with regards to the tour. Thank you for your kind understanding.
