Tea Tour for tea lovers! - to know everything about tea!
I believe the tour will be a great one for tea lovers to learn about more about Japanese tea. Shizuoka is one of the biggest tea producers in Japan having many production areas across the prefecture including Makinohara plateau, the largest tea plantation. We will visit two tea facilities located in this area. You can enjoy the experience of tea ceremony and other hands-on activities. As a Japanese Tea instructor, I hope I can be a help for you to fully enjoy this tea tour!
Atami Tour Customized for You!
Atami is a small onsen resort only 48 min. from Tokyo on Shinkansen trains. It is one of the oldest spa resorts in Japan and historically it has been an attractive retreat for celebrities. But it has rustic charms to offer, too. If you are tired of traveling in big cities, why don’t you visit Atami and spend a day or two and find spots off the unbeaten path.
Visit Tea Fields Cultivated by Samurai
Makinohara plateau, Japan's largest tea plantation was surprisingly cultivated by samurai about 150 years ago. By visiting the tea museum there to learn everything about tea and experience tea ceremony. Then, we'll visit Chagu'sba Terrace to enjoy a refreshing view of tea fields. Their eco-friendly tea production method has been designated as Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Last visit is Kakegawa Castle, a wooden castle reconstructed by the same method in samurai days.

“Best Tour Guide Ever!”
I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Fumie during our visit to Ito and Atami in Japan, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the start, Fumie took the time to ask all the right questions to tailor the tour to our specific needs and interests. Her communication was prompt and clear, making it easy to finalize all the details of our itinerary. Fumie was incredibly organized and well-prepared, providing us with useful flyers and brochures about the places we would visit. Her extensive knowledge of the area added so much depth to the experience, and she was thorough in sharing interesting facts and history with us. Her English skills were excellent, ensuring we never had any language barriers. What impressed me the most was how she seamlessly adapted when our plans changed. Despite the shift, Fumie handled it effortlessly, ensuring the tour continued smoothly and without any disruption—almost as if the change was part of the original plan. In addition to the tour, Fumie also provided professional interpreter services during our business meetings with other companies, and her support in that area was invaluable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, flexible, and highly professional guide and interpreter, I wholeheartedly recommend Fumie. She made our experience unforgettable, and I will certainly book her again for future tours and interpretation services.

“Even a professional like me has been stunned!!!!!”
I am a professional chef and a food journal writer, obviously, all the normal trips will not interested me at all. This wasabi field trip with Ms. Yasuko was an extraordinary one as we had a chance to see the process of how the wasabi was cleaned, prepared and packed. I was impressed. The wasabi farms were also gorgeous to see!

Thank you so much for an excellent review. I'm glad to hear that you could enjoy visiting Wasabi field and farm in Izu. Also, I appreciate being able to introduce to you IKADABA in Izu City.

“Stunning north/central Izu! ”
We went on a half-day, guided tour of north/central Izu and can honestly say it was an amazing tour! Yasuko-san was a terrific guide who provided a very appealing itinerary that included, among other things, a tour of waterfalls and wasabi fields. She communicated with us on a regular basis leading up to the tour and readily accommodated us based on our interests and time constraints. She met us promptly at the train station on the day of the tour and assisted us in securing a chartered taxi ahead of time. Yasuko-san and the driver took us to outstanding and remote points of interest that we would’ve never discovered on our own. The Izu region is simply beautiful with an abundance of nature, charm, and history. Bottom line, we highly recommend hiring Yasuko-san as a guide. She was warm, personable, and very professional. Moreover, we highly recommend going with this company as they helped resolve an initial problem with another guide and subsequently referred us to Yasuko-san.

Thank you so much for an excellent review. I'm happy to hear you had a great time on my tour. There were few tourists on the contrary it rained, we could see more water from the waterfalls, too. I agree that our driver offered really good service, so I'll recommend other guides to use that. Thank you so much end enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan.
