At "Experience-based traditional Japanese inn Tabinosha," we offer you a mountain village experience that is unique to Shizuoka throughout the four seasons! Located in the northeastern part of Kakegawa City, one of the leading tea producing areas in Shizuoka, this area is loved by locals as the mountain of the tea characters, and the tea plantations spread across the large hills at the foot of Awa-ga-take, a mountain that has been certified as a World Agricultural Heritage site, and high-quality tea has been produced for over 150 years using the Chagusaba farming method. In this plan, you will enjoy a tea picking experience in the tea fields that the tea producers have carefully cultivated. The first tea is picked from late April to mid-May, the second tea is picked in June, and the fourth tea is picked from late September to early October, which are the tea seasons for the producers, so you can enjoy tea picking according to the season. In addition, from late April to early November, you can enjoy tea picking even outside of the tea season, depending on the growth of the tea leaves. However, from late autumn to winter, until around mid-April when the tea season begins, there are no tea leaves to pick, so you will have to roll the tea using tea leaves that you have prepared in advance. Even in that case, we will still guide you to the tea fields and show you the state of the tea buds and how to make tea. You will try your hand at making kettle-fried tea using the tea leaves you picked, by heating, frying and rolling them in an iron pot. Let's make your own delicious, one-of-a-kind original tea!
