Kita Akihiro, Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations
Over 15 years ago, president and founder of Obubu, Akihiro Akky Kita, visited Wazuka, Kyoto. The tea produced in this rural district is known as Ujicha, one of the highest quality premium teas in Japan. Akky fell in love with tea and has gone from tea farmer apprentice to one of the most respected growers in the community. In 2004 he met Yasuharu Matsumoto and the two discovered a similar vision to cultivate Wazuka tea and share it directly with tea drinkers around the world. They now manage 4 acres, most this land is abandoned tea fields that are now productive and contributing to the community's economy.

Kyoto Festival: Tea Festival in Wazuka, Kyoto (Chagenkyo Matsuri)
Located southeast of Kyoto, the town of Wazuka isn't a place most tourists make it out to, despite how charming the rural community can be. But this weekend (November 7th - 8th, 2015) you may want to reconsider, seeing as the annual Chagenkyo Matsuri, also known as the Teatopia Festival, is being held at the Wazuka Sports Park!
At the Chagenkyo Matsuri you can explore the world of green tea in Wazuka, one of the first places chosen to grow tea when it was imported from China over 800 years ago. Take a tour through tea fields, watch how the locals hand roll the tea leaves in preparation, sample the Japanese varieties of tea and learn their differences, or wander over to the World Tea Promenade to sample tea from all over the world! With local arts, food, music, and kind people, a trip to the Chagenkyo Matsuri may be a fun day for the tea, art, or country enthusiast! Our team certainly enjoyed it!
For directions and a guide to events, check out this year's official pamphlet here:

GTN (22) Organic Tea in Japan: Ishikawa Tea Farm いしかわ製茶
In 1970's almost every tea farmer in Japan believed pesticide and chemical fertilizer are indispensable in producing tea, while Tetsuo Ishikawa questioned using pesticide and cultivated a new land to raise tea trees free from any pesticide.
In 1999 the organic certification system started in Japan, Ishikawa Tea Farm has got the certification first as a tencha (tea for matcha) producing farm.

Hidden Kyoto Tea Farms - This is why you need to look past the guide books and explore Wazuka, Kyoto
Exploring Hidden Tea Farms in the mountains of Kyoto and taking the perfect pics for Instagram - it's one of the best way to spend a day outside the bustling cities of Kyoto or Osaka!
My biggest piece of advice for travellers to Japan is to skip what the guidebooks say and go off the grid! Visiting Team Farms in Kyoto or Japan can set you back about $100, and although there are popular Team Farms in Uji Kyoto and others across Japan, you can save yourself the money and have the time of your life! If you're heading to Kyoto make sure you check out Wazuka!
Only an hour from Osaka, Wazuka is off the beaten path, and a quiet peaceful town in the mountains where you're unlikely to see any other tourists, or local people for that matter!
Without planning I jumped on a train and bus with my pal Kristina to explore this hidden tea region!

Wazuka Green Tea Farms, Japan
Wazuka Green Tea Farms, Japan
Wazuka is a town located in Soraku District, Kyoto prefecture, Japan. Surrounded by mountains and crossed by a river, it is not only a place of picturesque scenery, but is also renowned as a premium region for producing Japanese green tea. Wazuka is home to roughly 300 tea growing families. The area was selected in the Kamakura period (1192 – 1333) for tea production and has enjoyed an 800-year history as one of the main production areas of Ujicha. Today, while Ujicha comprises only 3% of the tea produced in Japan, it enjoys royal status as one of the most highly prized and respected teas in the country. Also a considerable crop of rice is produced among other agricultural products.
Wazuka's band of top tea farmers known as the Yukichaken and the local community are in cooperation with NICE one of the major volunteer program companies and hold together the biggest annual work camp at the end of August lasting 2 weeks. The program is open to about 12 foreigners per year and an equal number of Japanese work campers.
