The World Tea Museum is located in Makinohara. It is the largest tea plantation in Japan. We can learn about the history and culture on tea across the world and experience tea ceremony there.

Shizuoka city has Chamachi(Tea Town). There are some businesses related to tea industry gathering for a long time. The area also has an old shrine which had been patronized by Shogun Family and the towns had been developed under the reign.

If you are a great tea lover, the tour will be recommended!

About Tour Guide Hiroyo A.

Hello, I’m Hiroyo. I was born and brought up in Shizuoka. After living in Tokyo and in England, eventually I came back to Shizuoka. It is really a good place to live.

I have been interested in Japanese traditional culture. I used to be in a Kendo(Japanese fencing) club and a Japanese flower arrangement club when I was a student. I got a degree of Sho-dan(first-dan) in Kendo, and a diploma in follower arrangement. I also got a certificate as a Japanese tea instructor. It would be my great pleasure to help you find out more about Japanese culture.

Shizuoka is a lovely place to visit. It has many historical sites, traditional culture, abundant nature and a wide variety of local specialties including green tea, wasabi, many kinds of fruits and sea food fresh from the sea! You will be sure to enjoy them. Hope to see you here in Shizuoka!

“What a wonderful Day!!”

We had a wonderful day with Hiroyo on our Mt. Fuji area tour (October 20). We were a group of 8, including two kids, and she made the whole day easy from start to finish. She picked us up in Mishima and took us to Oishi Park, Fuji Speedway, and Hakone Shrine, where we got our photo at the famous torii gate on the lake — a highlight of our entire Japan trip. She went above and beyond for us: she took us to a local udon spot for lunch that we never would have found on our own (delicious!), and she even helped with a proposal during our day, which made it truly unforgettable. Hiroyo was flexible when we adjusted our stops, kept everything on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and shared just the right amount of local knowledge along the way. She had us back in Mishima right on time for our evening train. Traveling with a big group can be stressful, but she handled everything calmly and kindly. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone visiting the Fuji area! — Amanda B., Omaha, USA

The weather which I was worrying before and the beginning of the tour, but it was all right at each place we visited. The goddess of Mt. Fuji also really loves you all.

“Great experience with Hiroyo”

Hiroyo was very helpful throughout the tour, from the planning phase and on the tour day. She gave me some great advice on what to do and where to go, and also helped me to arrange everything. She even brought a little cute souvenir on the day, which was a happy surprise. I would recommend anyone to have Hiroyo as your guide! A wonderful time will be guaranteed!
