A beautiful experience, a deep dive into Kyushu. You can learn how the delicious Yame tea is produced. A great tour of the impressive plantations. A wonderful trip from there to the Tea Museum for a traditional lunch and the matcha grinding experience. The tour concludes at the Bandai Sake factory, where you can learn about the production process and enjoy a tasting of their products, with excellent service from their team. Our guide, Shu Ji (San), deserves special mention; he was very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and cordial. A highly recommended full-day tour.
The itinerary was relaxing and enjoyable. After tasting three types of sake, I felt a bit tipsy. The matcha DIY was fun. The central tea plantation was spectacular, even though it was raining, it was still quite beautiful.
This tour was alot of fun. My guide Di was very knowledgeable and explained the history of each place. the tour was well organized and visited beautiful places. I highly recommend this tour!
100% worth of participating! Everything was well-planned and there was enough time reserved for each location we visited. The tour guide, Shinobu, was amazing. With the driver they even went the extra mile when it appeared there was no matcha available for purchase in the place in the itinerary, so we made an extra stop on the way to next location. That raised the experience even higher.
This was a wonderful trip to a lesser-known spot! 💕❤️ We were accompanied by the kind and sweet Ms. Ruan from the travel agency, along with a professional Japanese driver who provided commentary throughout our journey to the beautiful, tranquil Yame City. The exquisite exhibits at the Traditional Crafts Center were a delight to behold, and the scenery and soft-serve ice cream in the Matcha Village were unforgettable. The children especially loved making their own matcha 🍵. Finally, we visited the century-old Mandai sake brewery for a tour and tasting, where the staff were incredibly enthusiastic. Thank you! ❤️🫰🏻 For several years now, we've been taking day-trip buses with HIS to various attractions, and they are the most professional, reliable, and authentically Japanese travel agency we've found on the platform. 🫶🏻 Sincerely sharing and recommending!
The guide was very polit and knowledgeable. The bus trips between places were filled with facts and anecdotes which was entertaining. Drinking our own freshly ground matcha was my favourite part.
Core memory of my Japan trip. Our tour guide Naoko was really helpful and kind. The tour is very well planned, it doesn't feel rushed and you have plenty of time to look around. I really enjoyed that it was a small group tour, both of the experiences were phenomenal, I really recommend this tour.
The tour guide thoughtfully introduced the Yame tea culture, and we also experienced sake tasting, making it a very fulfilling day.
