Morning Tea Walk through Wazuka’s Sacred Cedar and Tea Fields

2 hours

Easy

A serene morning tea walk through Wazuka’s sacred cedar and tea fields, guided in English.
Explore the heart of Kyoto’s tea country in this immersive 2-hour experience in Wazuka.

Begin your journey with a peaceful visit to a 1,300-year-old sacred cedar tree, followed by an English-guided walk through the town’s scenic tea fields. Along the way, learn about Wazuka’s deep connection to Uji tea, its cultivation, and seasonal nuances.

At the tea fields, you’ll enjoy a fresh tasting of locally produced sencha and hojicha, brewed in the open air with a view of the surrounding hills. Your guide, a bilingual local deeply passionate about tea culture, will share stories and insights you won’t find in any guidebook.

This experience is designed for travelers who want to connect with Japan’s authentic tea heritage in a relaxed, intimate setting. Small group sizes (up to 10 guests) ensure a personal and slow-paced journey, perfect for nature lovers and cultural explorers.

Note: This plan does not include the matcha preparation workshop featured in the Premium Tea Tour.
