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.
We had an amazing tour experience in Yame with Shuji-san! He made the entire experience so comfortable and enjoyable. He shared lots of fun facts about Japan along the way, keeping the commute entertaining, and was always thoughtful in making sure everyone was accounted for. He also went above and beyond by helping translate and explain the brewery and traditional crafts museum tours in English, which made the experience even more enriching for us. We truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yame. Thank you, Shuji-san, for such a wonderful experience!
it was a great experience. first time to to do the matcha grinding. and also the sake tasting. our tour guide is explaining every route that we are going.
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.
