About Wazuka
Designated one of Japan’s most beautiful villages, Wazuka’s dramatic sloped tea fields are breathtaking, and its tea legacy dates back 800 years.

Located south of Kyoto Prefecture near Nara, Wazuka embodies the heritage and skills of Japanese tea cultivation by small scale independent farmers.
