Blending art and tradition, this lovely cultural day out begins with an interesting coach drive.
First, you will experience a traditional tea ceremony. The scent of the tea soothes your soul as you sit down to participate in a choreographed ritual handed down through generations. A Japanese green tea called matcha is accompanied by a sweet. You will have time to stroll Yui Honjin park.
Next up is Miho-no-Matsubara -- a picturesque pine grove distinguished for its scenic beauty. Admire the pine-forested coastline along Suruga Bay and take in some grand views of Mt Fuji from here (weather permitting).
Notes:
Views of Mt Fuji are weather-dependent. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Terrain includes sand and uneven ground at Miho-no-Matsubara. You must remove your shoes at the tea house. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars.
