About this activity

Nishio, is a small town located in the south-central part of Aichi Prefecture. Nishio is known for being one of the major production areas of matcha along with Uji (Kyoto) and Kyoto proper. The quality of Nishio matcha is highly recognized throughout the country and overseas.

This one day experience starts with a video introduction of the matcha production process. Your local guide will explain to you about the history of Nishio Matcha. Then, you will head to the tea fields and you will be able to take photos while wearing the traditional tea outfit.

This will give you a good understanding of the process required to develop the harvested tea.

Once you finish the tea factory tour, you will make your matcha cup for drinking with the guidance of the local tour guide. Finally, you will be able to enjoy the green tea with sweets.
