We have prepared a special program that is limited to one group per day and allows you to enjoy Shizuoka tea with all five senses. The Higashiyama district, which produces tea that has been designated as a World Agricultural Heritage Site, is one of the highest quality tea producing areas in the prefecture, but in recent years there has been an increase in the number of dilapidated tea plantations in this area. In this plan, you will pick tea in a scenic tea plantation that has been renovated from a ruined tea plantation, and you will enjoy the picked tea with tempura or as a kaiseki meal with seasonal local ingredients. Also, as a fun activity before and after your meal, you can work up a sweat by climbing up to the top of Mt. Awagatake, the symbol of the area, for about 30 minutes. From the mountaintop terrace, you can see the large tea garden below, the Oi River, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula on the horizon. On clear days from autumn to winter, you can even see Mt. Fuji. After your meal, enjoy a sencha ceremony where you can brew delicious tea yourself using a teapot. Local staff and farmers will give you detailed instructions, so please try it at home! ~Procedure of the experience~ ① Gather at Higashiyama Ippukudokoro (10:00) ② Welcome tea and program information at local Higashiyama tea (about 20 minutes) ③ Tea picking experience at a ruined tea plantation halfway up Mt.

Waseda chestnuts begin to bear fruit around the end of August every year, and you can enjoy them until around September.
