Maruichi Mizuno Tea Company
A Japanese Tea Tasting Experience on a Terrace Overlooking Mount Fuji
Founded in 1907 and passed down through six generations, Maruichi Mizuno Seicha is a long-established tea farm where you can experience the charm of tea with all five senses.
Located at the heart of the tea fields stretching out at the foot of Nihondaira, the tea terrace offers a chance to savor sencha while taking in the spectacular view of Mount Fuji. This is a unique Shizuoka experience where you can engage all five senses—sight, smell, and taste—to fully appreciate the tea. You can also try on traditional tea-picking attire and tour the tea processing factory.
Furthermore, since the tea leaves are processed in their own factory and sold directly at their shop, you can purchase them right after your experience.
*Limited to one group per day; reservations must be made at least three days in advance.
*Since you will need to travel between the tea fields and the shop during the experience, a taxi must be arranged.
