Then, you will have a chance to visit local Matcha Farmers, invited to traditional Japanese style home to enjoy delicately crafted Matcha Lunch Set, participate in Matcha tasting and tea tasting.

What To Expect

1. Kasuga Grand Shrine This shrine, designated as a World Heritage Site, was originally built in the 8th century. The current main hall was constructed in 1863 and is designated as a National Treasure. Over the past 1200 years, nearly 3,000 stone lanterns have been donated and line the shrine's corridors and grounds. Located adjacent to Nara Park, the shrine offers visitors the unique opportunity to encounter and feed the many deer that roam freely within its precincts. 30 minutes

2. Nara Park Legend has it that in the 7th century, a deity descended upon the mountain behind Kasuga Taisha, arriving on the back of a deer. Because of this, deer have been revered as divine messengers in Nara since ancient times. Today, approximately 1,300 deer inhabit Nara Park, beloved by visitors from around the world. The opportunity to see these deer up close and take photos makes Nara Park a popular destination for families and people of all ages. 30 minutes

3. Wazuka-cho For 800 years, Uji tea, the backbone of Japan's tea-making culture, has been produced in this valley surrounded by mountains and traversed by a river. It’s a place of abundant nature that remains unknown to most visitors to Japan. Just a one-hour journey from Kyoto city, this region offers unique experiences that you won't find anywhere else, such as MATCHA production, processing, factory visit, tea ceremony experiences, tea farm walks, and Zen temple retreats. If you're looking to escape the bustling city of Kyoto and immerse yourself in 800 years of Japanese culture and nature in a secluded green space filled with the sounds of birds, this is the perfect place for families and people of all ages. All experiences are offered in traditional Japanese houses or Zen temples. The farm experience would be 4-5 hours. The tour includes 1 hour to 1.5 hour transportation time. 6 hours
