Resplan
I 800 år har Uji-te, ryggraden i Japans tetillverkningskultur, producerats i denna dal omgiven av berg och genomkorsad av en flod. Det är en plats med riklig natur som förblir okänd för de flesta besökare i Japan. Bara en timmes resa från Kyoto stad, erbjuder denna region unika upplevelser som du inte hittar någon annanstans, såsom MATCHA produktion, bearbetning, fabriksbesök, teceremoni upplevelser, te gård promenader och Zen tempel retreater.

Alla upplevelser erbjuds i traditionella japanska hus eller zentempel.

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!
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and generous review. Reading your words truly means a lot to me. One of my goals is to help guests go beyond simply tasting matcha and gain a deeper appreciation for the people, traditions, and generations of knowledge behind it. I am delighted to hear that your visit to Uji and Wazuka changed the way you think about and enjoy matcha. I especially appreciate your recognition of the tea farmers. The beautiful tea fields are certainly impressive, but it is the dedication, craftsmanship, and hard work of the farming families that make authentic Uji tea possible. As someone who was born into a tea farming family myself, it is always rewarding when guests connect with that story and understand the value behind every cup. I also thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and your thoughtful questions throughout the day. Sharing tea culture with guests who are genuinely curious and eager to learn is one of the most enjoyable parts of my work. Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your Japan journey with me. I hope that every time you prepare a bowl of matcha at home, it brings back fond memories of the tea fields, farmers, and traditions of Wazuka. I would be delighted to welcome you back someday for another tea adventure. Until then, enjoy your tea!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure spending the day with you and your wife. I’m delighted to hear that she enjoyed the experience. I’m especially glad that the tour provided a peaceful escape from the city and an opportunity to experience a more authentic side of rural Japan, away from the usual tourist crowds. Sharing the local tea culture, history, and daily life of Wazuka with guests is always a pleasure. Thank you again for visiting, and I hope you both enjoy many cups of Japanese tea while remembering your time in Wazuka. I would be happy to welcome you back anytime!
It was fascinating and fun. We really were immersed in the area and she adapted the tour to our knowledge and interests. She showed us the tea experience from production to distribution in a very personalized way. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m delighted to hear that you found the experience both fascinating and enjoyable. It was a pleasure spending time with you and tailoring the tour to your interests and existing knowledge. I especially enjoyed our conversations comparing farming practices in Japan and the United States. Exchanging perspectives and learning from each other is one of my favorite parts of hosting guests, and I found our discussions both insightful and inspiring. I’m happy that you appreciated learning about the tea journey from production to distribution and experiencing the local tea community in a more personal way. Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Wazuka someday for another tea adventure!
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!
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with your family and sharing the tea culture and countryside of Wazuka with you. I’m especially happy if your daughter felt included and enjoyed being part of the experience. Seeing younger guests become curious about tea and local culture always makes me so happy. She was wonderful to spend time with, and I hope to welcome her back someday when she is all grown up for another tea adventure together! Thank you again for your kindness and for choosing to visit our small tea community. Wishing your family many more wonderful travels ahead!
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.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review! I’m very happy we were able to arrange the tour, I did very much enjoy your company. It was such a pleasure sharing Wazuka’s tea culture, local farming community, and history with you. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed meeting the tea farmer directly and learning more about the realities of tea farming and the season’s harvest. Experiences like these are very special because what I try to create is such direct connections between guests and local producers. I’m also delighted you enjoyed the soba lunch, tea tasting, and visiting the local tea shop to support local farmers. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate not only the tea itself, but also the people, culture, and traditions behind it. Your recommendation truly means so much to me. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope to welcome you back to Wazuka someday for another tea adventure!
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the tea culture and countryside of Wazuka. I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed learning about the history and process of tea cultivation from my family’s background, as well as the beautiful scenery, tea tasting with wagashi, local soba lunch, and visits to the tea shop and farmer’s market. I’m glad you were able to bring home different teas to continue enjoying a taste of Wazuka even after your trip. I truly appreciate your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back again someday for another peaceful tea experience in Wazuka!
Incredible visit to Tea Farm, we went to a moji factory and saw the most amazing views of tea plantation. It was an amazing experience.
Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed visiting the tea farm, the mochi factory, and the beautiful scenery of the tea plantations in Wazuka. The rolling tea fields and peaceful countryside are truly special, and I’m glad we could share such a memorable experience together. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope you can visit us again someday for another tea adventure!
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!!!!
Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt review! Reading your kind words truly made my day. It was such a pleasure sharing the beauty of Wazuka and the world of matcha with you both. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed learning not only about matcha itself, but also the history, culture, and people behind it. Supporting local tea farmers and helping guests connect directly with the community is one of the most important parts of this experience for me, so your appreciation means a great deal. I’m especially glad you enjoyed meeting the farmers, visiting the tea market, and tasting teas directly connected to the region. Seeing guests discover the depth and diversity of Japanese tea is always wonderful to witness. And of course, I was very happy to help with the extra matcha afterward! I’m delighted you found teas you loved enough to bring more home with you. Thank you again for choosing this experience and for taking the time to write such a generous review. Next time, we’ll definitely have to enjoy the full-day tour together — there is still so much more tea culture and hidden local beauty to explore. Looking forward to welcoming you back someday!
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!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear that this was one of your favorite experiences in Japan. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed the personal and local atmosphere of the tour. Sharing the tea culture, history, and everyday life of Wazuka with guests who are genuinely curious and appreciative is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. It was such a pleasure having insightful conversations with you throughout the day. I’m also glad you enjoyed visiting the tea farm, tasting different teas, shopping for local teas, and stopping by the mochi shop. As someone traveling solo, I hope the experience felt both welcoming and memorable. Thank you as well for recognizing the value of creating a small-scale, authentic experience connected directly to local tea farmers and the community. Your support truly means so much. I would absolutely love to welcome you back in the future! Next time, perhaps we can enjoy a full-day experience together with tea tastings alongside tea farmers, visits to matcha factories, and even making your own chasen (bamboo tea whisk). I look forward to seeing you again someday for another tea adventure!
