Plan description

With the guidance of a tea farmer who has been engaged in the tea industry for generations in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, you will learn about Japanese tea culture through the traditional game "Tea Kabuki" where you can drink the types of tea that have been passed down since the Muromachi period (1336–1573). You can hear from tea farmers who carry out all of the production, tea making, and sales in-house about the flavor and taste created from the ingenuity and commitment of the production site, and the depth of Japanese tea. There is a private small group plan (2 to 6 people) and a group plan (7 people or more) where you can also experience zazen in a temple. Even beginners can feel free to enjoy it!

What is Tea Kabuki?

It is a game of drinking the types of tea, and is also called "handed tea" or "tocha". It has a long history and has been enjoyed since the Muromachi period (1336–1573). Even with green tea, when you compare the drinks, you will be surprised at the difference in aroma and taste. By the end of the game, you will find your favorite tea!

Shizuoka Prefecture is the best tea spot in Japan!

Hamamatsu City has a warm climate with long daylight hours throughout the year. Tea in the western area is characterized by its deep taste and high aroma.
