“This matcha tea workshop was such a lovely and memorable experience. The host was absolutely wonderful—so welcoming and kind. We arrived much earlier than expected, and she graciously let us sit in her cozy café while we waited, which was such a kind gesture. The workshop itself took place in a charming upstairs nook of the café, where we sat on the floor in traditional style. It added to the authenticity and intimacy of the experience. The space was peaceful and perfect for learning the art of matcha. Our host wasn’t just a great teacher—she’s also incredibly cultured and insightful, with some amazing life experiences that she shared with us.…”

Review of a $66 Mt. Fuji day tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, ropeway views, matcha, and Oshino Hakkai.

“The pick up point is completely chaotic. It is very hard to find the right bus - and none of the guides will help if you don't know your guide's name (ridiculous!). Some were just plain rude. PLEASE get a better system. Once on board however, Peter was an excellent guide. He was entertaining and informative, and fantastic at organising everyone. 5* for Peter:) It was a superb SUNNY day out, and Mt Fuji was spectacular after a snowfall. She was extra happy today.”
