ABOUT THE TOUR
This journey is rooted in a personal experience that once inspired us to create a place like Sensu. We want to bring you closer to the world behind the drink that many of us enjoy every day.
The journey is designed for a small group of people who want to discover matcha beyond the trend and understand it within the deeper context of Japanese culture.
WHAT TO EXPECT
KYOTO · UJI · NARA · TAKAYAMA
Over the course of 5 days, we will travel together through Kyoto, Uji, Nara, and Takayama. We will visit tea farms, taste matcha, and step into the world of the people who have been cultivating tea for generations.
