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.
