Highlights
This is far more than simply whisking and drinking matcha. We welcome just one group at a time into the private home of a tea master who lives at the foot of Mount Fuji. In a serene, purified tearoom, you will receive omotenashi — the finest Japanese hospitality — and savor with all five senses the refined sense of beauty that Japan has cherished for generations, in a moment that comes only once (ichigo ichie). At its heart, this experience is a quiet moment of unity: the host offers heartfelt hospitality, the guest receives it with gratitude, and a gentle warmth passes between them.

About Shizuoka
Shizuoka is a city on Suruga Bay in tea country, with Mount Fuji on the horizon, a castle park and shrines tied to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Shizuoka lies on the Pacific coast of central Japan, on Suruga Bay, with the Southern Alps and Mount Fuji on the horizon. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan under his shogunate, retired to Sunpu, as the city was called, and its castle park with moats and stone walls stands in the centre. His first resting place, the Kunozan Toshogu shrine, sits on a hill reached by ropeway from the Nihondaira plateau, which has views over the bay and Fuji.
