Tea Leaf Picking experience and Farm-to-Home vegetable Tempura Buffet Lunch！ Taste different kinds of Tea including Matcha as you like！ Just a Short Journey from Tokyo or Yokohama! ……Available from April to November (excluding July and August)

The world may be obsessed with matcha, but only a few travelers ever experience where real Japanese tea begins—with their own hands.Just a half-day trip from Tokyo or Yokohama, discover a hidden tea village nestled between Hakone, Tanzawa, and two scenic rivers. 

This beautiful Ashigara region is known for summer fireflies, vibrant hydrangeas, and centuries of tea-growing tradition.

Forget the idea that you must travel to Shizuoka for tea-picking.

In the scenic Ashigara region—framed by Hakone, Tanzawa, and two crystal-clear rivers——you’ll step into a timeless countryside where the seasons come alive.
In June, hydrangeas burst into color across the hillsides, and on warm summer evenings, fireflies flicker gently above the riverbanks.

Here, you’ll stroll through lush tea fields, pick fresh tea sprouts with your fingertips, and learn the secrets of green tea from a master producer. Then sit down to a rustic farmhouse meal: crispy vegetable tempura and steaming rice, cooked moments before you eat.

This isn’t just a tour—it’s a chance to touch the heart of Japan,to understand its traditions,and to feel the quiet beauty that most visitors never find.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable, authentic Japanese experience, it begins right here.
