Overview
With friendly Students!
These students are studying English and Tourism at Tokoha University and this tour was planned by them and their professor.
Their wishes are simple.
1. They want to be your good partners who can help your shore excursion very enjoyable and memorable.
2. Through communicating with overseas travelers, they want to improve their English ability and communication skill.
3.They are wishing to introduce you profound Japanese culture in countryside which you can hardly experience through conventional large bus excursions.
This is their first time to plan a tour. They have spent much time to prepare for this tour. (visiting each destination, studying about each history, taking many photos in order to advertise the tour. )
If you are interested in these students' challenge, please join us! They are looking forward to serving you!
Ohatago Kashibaya (stay about 60 minutes)
This is an old inn in Edo period. (now only for sightseeing, not opened as a real inn) When you enter this inn, you can feel as if you were a Shogun who were exclusively allowed to use this inn.
You can learn how ancient travelers spent their time in this old inn. if you like, you can also enjoy wearing kimono in this facility and take pictures for SNS!
Gyokuro no sato (stay about 50 minutes)
This facility is the most popular spot among overseas travelers who visit Fujieda City. It has beautiful Japanese garden and tea room.
You can enjoy Gyokuro and Japanese confectionery.
Gyokuro is a name of the highest quality of Japanese green tea. It has wonderful fragrance, sweet taste and richness.
Gyokuro farming is very hard work,so the cost of it is expensive. But in this tour, you can enjoy Gyokuro in Japanese tea room with beautiful garden.
Lantern Festival (stay about 75 minutes)
Fujieda City has a long tradition of ceramics.
They make ceramic lanterns too.
This festival is held only once a year, on 7th of October.
You can experience "Rakuyaki".
Rakuyaki is a kind of pottery. Usually, people use ”pottery wheel” to molding but Rakuyaki is molded by maker's hands and spatula.
Rakuyaki in Fujieda takes only 15 minutes and all the completed article has original color and design. Of course you can bring pottery you made!
