Overview

  • Experience authentic Japanese tea culture on a scenic farm near Tokyo—pick fresh tea leaves, taste a variety of teas including matcha, and enjoy a farm-to-table lunch in a peaceful countryside setting.

    The tour starts at 10:15 AM and ends around 2:15 PM at Shin-Matsuda Station. Escape the city and spend a relaxing day in Kaisei, a hidden countryside in Kanagawa. Walk through tea fields with a local tea master, learn how tea is grown, and (season permitting) try picking fresh leaves yourself.

    After the walk, enjoy tasting a variety of Japanese teas at your own pace, from matcha and sencha to hojicha. Then sit down for a farm lunch featuring vegetable tempura, local rice, and seasonal dishes made with farm ingredients.

    Vegan and halal-friendly meals are available upon request. Gluten-free options may be accommodated with advance notice.

    This experience is ideal for travellers who want to go beyond a tea ceremony and discover the real storey behind Japanese tea in a relaxed setting.

Activity itinerary

Kaisei-machi

  • 3h
Begin your day by escaping the city and stepping into the peaceful countryside of Kaisei, Kanagawa. Start with a warm welcome from your tea master, followed by a guided walk through lush green tea fields. Learn how Japanese tea is grown, pick young leaves with your own hands, and take your harvest home as a souvenir. Afterwards, enjoy tasting a variety of Japanese teas at your own pace, including matcha, sencha, hojicha, Japanese black tea, matcha latte, and even matcha beer. Then sit down to a farm-to-table lunch featuring freshly prepared vegetable tempura, local rice (try making your own rice balls), a seasonal salad with fruit dressing, and a matcha dessert.
