The tour with Masae was an almost once in a lifetime tour. She is the expert in the area and speaks English perfectly. She couldn’t have been most friendly. The seven hours went by so quickly and I could have spent way more time in the area. My next visit back to Japan, I will be taking more tours with her. If you want to learn more about green tea or matcha, this is your tour. I have travelled around the world and this tour is at the top of all tours. If I could give her 10 stars I would. This tour should not be missed!
