Your day begins with a motorcoach drive to Gyokuro-no-sato. You will participate in a delightful tea ceremony experience. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable local expert, you will learn the traditional art of brewing and savoring this precious beverage, understanding the subtle nuances that make it so special. In the Japanese culture, a tea ceremony is not just about the beverage; it's a cultural ritual that brings tranquility and peace to the participants. You will be served Japanese green tea, called matcha, accompanied by sweets, which balances out the flavors of the tea leaves.
After your refreshing tea experience, take a leisurely stroll through the meticulously maintained Japanese Garden. Designed to evoke peace and harmony, these gardens are a testament to Japan's aesthetic sensibilities, offering picturesque views and a profound sense of calm. The gentle murmur of water, the perfectly placed stones, and the seasonal flora create an idyllic setting for reflection and relaxation. Before we depart, you'll have ample opportunity for shopping. Discover a wide array of premium Gyokuro teas, local sweets, and unique handicrafts, perfect for souvenirs or gifts to remember your authentic Japanese experience.
Refreshed, your final stop of the day is Miho-no-Matsubara, one of the "New Three Views of Japan" designated for its scenic beauty. Miho is a peninsula that stretched out into Suruga Bay, and Miho-no-Matsubara is the name given to the beautiful pine forest that adorns the coastline. An inspirational spot for artists and painters, its green trees are striking against the azure waters and Mt. Fuji in the background. Deep within the pine grove, there is a 650-year-old Japanese black pine called Hagoromo-no-Matsu. Its branches spread in every direction, and it is believed to have mythical origins. It is said that an angel bathing in the waters hung her clothes on the branches of this tree. A fisherman took the garment, and the angel had to win it back by dancing for him.
Especially on clear days, breathtaking, picturesque scenery unfolds, making it an ideal photo spot.
