Interested in visiting us in Wazuka, Kyoto?

Wazuka is in the southern most part the Kyoto Prefecture, 45 minutes south of Kyoto city by train (and then a taxi or bus ride from the station). The nearest train station is Kamo (加茂) on the JR Kansai line, and the town is a 20-30 minute bus ride from the station (one bus per hour). The simplest way to get to us is a taxi ride to our office — around 2000 yen. We recommend the taxi as it may be difficult to figure out where you are by bus.

Please contact us using the form below to check our availability and schedule a visit. Visitations may be limited to official events during busy harvesting periods. All teas and other products will be available for purchase at Japanese prices (significantly cheaper since you avoid international shipping costs)…including products we do not ship overseas. If you have four people in your group, please contact us to make arrangements and for a group discount. If you are arranging a tour group, please contact us for details.

Cancellation up to 2 weeks prior to tour date: Full refund
Cancellation up to 1 week prior to tour date: 80% refund
Cancellation up to 3 days prior to tour date: 50% refund
After 3 days prior to tour date, no refund will be given, but we will send you 1-bag per person of your choice of tea so that you do not go away completely empty-handed.
