Tea Museum, Shizuoka (茶の都ミュージアム)

a place to experience shizuoka tea

At this museum, located in Japan’s largest tea-growing region, the Makinohara Plateau, visitors can take in exhibits showcasing the tea industry, its history, culture, and functions. The museum’s teahouse and garden which go back to the days of celebrated local resident Kobori Enshu, display an elegant simplicity (kirei-sabi), and are also an attraction.

Through Japanese tea ceremony, making finely-ground matcha, mixing tea leaves by hand and other experiences, visitors to the museum, from children to adults, can have fun learning about tea.
