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!

“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!

Hiroyo A.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment! I'm so glad to hear from you and know that you enjoyed the tour here. Shizuoka has a lot more to see and enjoy. If you have another opportunity to visit, I'm happy to welcome you hopefully with Mt. Fuji next time as well :) Thank you so much!!

“Tea and Views”

This is our second tour with Hiroyo, and truly enjoyed this in a different way! Hiroyo is highly knowledgeable on everything about Japanese tea, so if you love tea she is the perfect guide. Understanding the different tea varieties, seeing the tea farm and consuming tea from farm to cup is genuinely a beautiful experience. If you have not seen Mt Fuji from the Shizuoka side, Nihondaira is the place! Lovely tour with tea, sacred space with immense significance to Japan and breathtaking views. Thank you Hiroyo!

Thank you so much for another day tour here in Shizuoka! There are many attractions here and it is always my great pleasure to welcome you. Shizuoka is a must visit for tea lovers and for a great fan of Shogun as well! A view of Mt. Fuji was perfect during your stay in the beginning of December. If you have another opportunity to visit here, I’ll offer you a different nice experience! Thank you again and best wishes, Hiroyo
