5.00Absolutely phenomenal experience! Masae is truly a master of her craft — her deep knowledge of history, culture, and matcha is incredible, and the way she shares it is so captivating and elegant. This was honestly one of the most memorable and enriching experiences we had in Japan! We loved every moment — from learning the fascinating background of matcha to tasting and exploring places that felt completely hidden from the usual tourist path. The tour takes you off the beaten track into authentic, exclusive areas that no other tour touches. Every stop felt intentional and special, and Masae made the whole journey both fun and deeply insightful. If you’re anywhere near Kyoto, don’t miss this experience — it’s truly exceptional and absolutely worth it!
Beautiful scenery and wonderful tour!

5.00We had a great experience with Masae on the tour! We visited the tea farms, had a tea tasting and even had a chance to make and eat mochi!!! Masae is very knowledgeable on the tea farming and tea manufacturing process. The area was beautiful and picturesque. I would highly recommend visiting.
Amazing local tour guide from a tea family!

5.00I really enjoyed hearing about the tea farms from a local. They offered their own family perspective about the tea industry. In short you will learn and leave with much more emotion about tea than what you read in books. My favorite part of the trip was visiting a farmers-market tea store. All of the products there were from various local farmers. Our guide gave great recommendations for us to do for the rest of our trip. It was like making a new friend.
Great matcha tour
