What to expect

Experience Japan’s matcha culture at its source on this private Uji & Wazuka matcha tour with a private car, traveling beyond tourist routes to tea farms, countryside landscapes, and historic tea towns at a relaxed, customizable pace.

Matcha (抹茶), made from tencha leaves, is Japan’s oldest type of tea, and Uji is Japan’s oldest tea growing region, where the world famous tea gardens are located just south of the historical city of Kyoto.

This full-day private tour takes you deep into the heart of Japan’s matcha culture, combining history, craftsmanship, and rural beauty far from the usual tourist paths.

Throughout the day, your private guide adapts the pace to your interests — whether you’d like to linger among the tea terraces, ask in-depth questions about cultivation, or enjoy a relaxed local lunch surrounded by countryside views.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a deeper connection to Japanese culture, not just sightseeing — a chance to slow down and experience matcha where it truly begins.
