  Our private half-day trip to Uji and Wazuka was one of the highlights of our time in Japan. If you enjoy matcha, tea, or simply learning about local culture, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Seeing the tea farms in person and watching the farmers at work was incredible. The rolling green fields were beautiful, but what made the experience truly special was gaining a deeper understanding of the dedication, skill, and generations of knowledge that go into producing high-quality matcha. Our guide, Masae, was wonderful. She was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. She answered every question thoughtfully and provided so much context about the history, cultivation, harvesting, and production of tea. Her passion for the subject made the entire experience even more meaningful. As Americans, we thought we knew a fair amount about matcha, but this tour showed us how much more there is to learn. We gained a much deeper appreciation for the different grades of tea, the production process, and the cultural significance of matcha in Japan. It completely changed the way we think about and enjoy matcha. This was a fascinating, educational, and memorable experience that offered a genuine connection to the people and traditions behind Japanese tea. Thank you, Masae, for such an unforgettable day!

  Great experience. Massae is a true local. She is straightforward on her knowledge and explain things pretty well. My wife was super happy with our experience and the learning we had. The experience is private and away from regular tourists.

• A Wonderful Matcha Experience in the Japanese Countryside

  Our tour with Masae in Wazuka was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. It was wonderful to get out of the city and experience the beautiful countryside while learning about matcha and tea production. We learned so much about how tea is grown, harvested, and processed, and meeting the tea farmer and his wife was a special part of the experience. They were incredibly kind and welcoming. Masae also taught us how to prepare matcha, and we enjoyed tasting a variety of excellent matcha and local teas. Masae was especially wonderful with our 6-year-old daughter, making her feel included and encouraging her to try the teas alongside us. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Masae, for a memorable day in Wazuka!

  We had a last minute change to our schedule and reached out to Masae to see if she had any availability. Fortunately she was able to accommodate us! We were staying in Osaka and Masae helped us find the right train to take, minimizing our need for transfers. Once we arrived, she greeted us at the train station and took us to an overlook where we learned more about the region and how the day would go. From there, we went to an actual tea farm and spoke with the farmer about his work and how the year was going. Then we had a delicious lunch at a local soba restaurant. Then Masae walked us through a tea tasting where we learned even more about the various tea processes. Before returning us to the train station, Masae drove us to a local tea shop where we could purchase any tea that we liked from local farmers. If you are interested in farming, supporting local businesses, tea, or Japanese history and culture , take this tour! You will not be disappointed.

  

  

• Best tea farm tour

  We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hr private tour led by Masae who comes from a family of tea farmers. She is very knowledgeable about the history and steps involved in cultivating, harvesting and processing of the tea. She patiently waited for us to take pictures of the breathtaking scenery. Then we had samples of tea and Japanese confectionery (wagashi) inside tea house. Next she drove us to local cafe to eat a delicious bowl of soba noodles. Next door is the tea shop where we purchased a variety of teas (sencha, hojicha, and matcha) to enjoy at home and made a last stop at local farmer’s market. She provided transportation to and from the train station. I highly recommend Uji and Wazuka farm tour led by Masae.

  If you have passion for matcha, this is the tour for you! It was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Masae picked us up at the Uji train station, a super convenient location, and whisked us off to the matcha tea fields in the hills of Wazuka. The location was drop dead gorgeous and Masae’s knowledge of the area, the people, and all things matcha was incredible. We learned SO much! From matcha’s history (especially in the Wazuka/Uji region) to how it is grown and harvested. We very much appreciated Masae’s focus on helping the local matcha farmers bring new income to the community, helping the local matcha industry grow and thrive. Two of the big highlights included going to a farm and meeting the farmers as well as going to the local tea market where you can buy direct from the farmer, further supporting the local farms and ensuring single origin tea. We also had a lovely tea ceremony experience, where we got the opportunity to try several different types of tea. We very much appreciated her flexibility, answering extra questions and allowing us to stay longer at sites that interested us. Oh, and as an added bonus, when we decided the next day we wanted to buy some extra matcha, we contacted Masae, and not only did she purchase it on her own time, but she brought it to us at our hotel. Her commitment to going above and beyond for her customers is amazing and super appreciated. The only thing I wish I had done differently is booked a full day instead of a half. It was that good! Thank you Masae!!!!

• A special green tea/matcha experience with Masae

  This green tea farm tour with Masae was one of my favorite experiences in Japan!! Masae is one of the few, if not the only one, creating personal green tea/matcha experiences that are local and feels very special. She's very knowledgeable about Japanese culture and the world of green tea/matcha as it's her family background, she's passionate, and her English is very good so it's easy to have super insightful conversations. I took this tour as a solo traveler and got to see a green tea farm up close, had a personal tea tasting, lunch, shopped for teas to take home, and we even stopped by a local mochi shop! Yes, the price is high, but this experience is truly something special and completely worth it from my eyes. I did a lot of research on visiting Uji/green tea farms and couldn't find another experience that would be so personal, authentic, and local. Looking back, I wish I was able to book the full day tour, but look forward to my next visit with Masae as she expands her offerings in the future!
