What's On Odai JP
ThingsToDo
Scenic Tea Field Walking with Tasty Teas
“Tea” is the most commonly drunk beverage in Japan and an important part of Japanese food culture. In Odai, every house used to plant teas in their garden or field and made their own homemade tea blends. There are still a lot of fresh green tea fields spreading out the town that has access to the rivers with clear and fresh water. Our guided walking tour takes you to Odai’s tea plantation areas showing you the Japanese culture and what the Japanese landscape used to be.
<What We’ll Do>
After meeting at the Nisshin Community Centre and having a briefing, we’ll start our walkabout. We stroll through the tea fields, past pretty rural scenery and old local houses. In springtime, you can see how the tea leaves are harvested and visit one of the tea plants.
We then go back to the starting point to have some different types of teas with Japanese sweets that matches perfectly. The natural spring water that was served at Ise-Shima Summit in 2016 will be used to brew teas.
Total distance walking approx. 3.5 km. 3 hours total.
