Why don’t you join forces with local tea farmers and fully enjoy green tea experience?
Ashikubo is the birthplace of Shizuoka Cha(Tea) and has a long tradition of expertise in producing delicious tea.
Shouichi Kokushi,a Japanese Buddhist monk brought tea seeds from China and planted them near the upstream part of Ashikubo river in 1244. This became the first tea plant to be grown in Shizuoka.
Its tea of fine quality is well known for an offering to Ieyasu Tokugawa,the founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan.
