An experience to discover the profound depth of Japanese tea and wagashi sweets. Photography service available.
Stroll through the historic castle town at the foot of Matsuyama Castle, where the breath of history lingers. Listen to the quiet of Shinonome Shrine and reflect on the words inscribed on Masaoka Shiki's haiku monument. This activity begins with such a stroll, steeped in the scent of literature and culture. It embodies not just sightseeing, but an experiential journey that connects you with daily life. Held in a private residence, you'll experience the warmth of being welcomed into a local home while delving into the depth of Japanese tea and wagashi. Enjoy the art of preparing sencha and matcha tea using a teapot, learn about Ehime grown tea leaves and local sweets, and discover the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine's dashi broth in a fun and engaging way.
