Our Uji trip was simply amazing! Terumi, our incredible guide, took us on a walk that left us in awe. She showed us the most unique and fascinating spots in Uji that we had a particular interest in. With her vast knowledge and entertaining personality, she made sure we had an unforgettable experience. We even had the privilege of meeting the best matcha farmer around, who had won two awards - one in Paris and one from the mayor of Uji. He graciously made us some matcha and we were blown away by his kindness. We also got to meet the people in charge of the main bridge and bought some more matcha and tools to bring home. Our vegetarian lunch was beyond delicious and we even got to grind our own matcha at the same place. The walking paths we took were purposeful and we covered a lot of ground. My daughter, her friend, my friend, and I absolutely loved the entire trip and are so grateful to Terumi and the people of Uji for making it unforgettable!

Terumi was the most wonderful host and tour guide in Uji. I was in awe of how much knowledge she shared about tea, temples, pottery, and culture. The experience was perfectly paced and I got to try everything - grinding my own matcha, attending a tea ceremony, visiting a temple, and buying plenty of goodies. This was my favorite day in my month of traveling through Japan, all thanks to Terumi. I cannot recommend the experience enough, no matter how much knowledge you have about tea and tea culture to start.

Our tour guide, Mimi, was patient and kind to us. She was informed and took us to all of the beautiful places in Uji. We would definitely recommend this for others as we enjoy it and our teenage sons also remained engaged because of the Miki.

Very informative tour! Terumi is knowledgeable and thoughtful - she planned out a great itinerary and shared history at every stop! We got so much more than a beautiful tea ceremony from our experience. We especially loved the matcha workshop and the amazing lunch spot on the River. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in matcha or the history of tea in Japan.
