Activity
Tasting and hand-kneading of Minamata's Japanese black tea (wakocha), which has won numerous prestigious awards
Minamata Japanese black tea from Kumamoto Prefecture has won numerous awards in domestic and international competitions, including the Japan Black Tea Grand Prix and THE LEAFIES in London, the home of tea. You can create your own original Japanese black tea by hand-kneading tea leaves and savor it alongside Minamata's famous sweets. On a clear day, you can visit the tea fields and enjoy your tea while soaking in the calming natural scenery.
Experts in Japanese black tea and tea leaf cultivation will also be sharing the charms of Japanese black tea
A "tea sommelier" with extensive knowledge of Minamata Japanese black tea, or one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Japanese Black Tea" active in the Minamata and Ashikita areas, will guide you in making Japanese black tea while sharing its unique charms. Enjoy discovering who your instructor will be! *Instructors cannot be specified.

Relax in the soothing hot spring waters, renowned for their beauty-enhancing properties and certified as a "National Health Spa" and one of the "New 100 Famous Hot Springs," in a completely private space with your loved ones. Enjoy cuisine crafted from the abundant agricultural and marine produce of the Minamata area.
Experience the great nature of Minamata

Minamata Japanese black tea hand-kneading experience
You will make Japanese black tea while learning the differences between Japanese black tea, green tea, and regular black tea. The tea leaves are kneaded by hand for 15 to 20 minutes until the juice comes out. The taste changes depending on the person making the tea, such as the warmth of their hands and how hard they knead. Enjoy discovering what kind of Japanese black tea you will make. You can put the finished product in a bag and take it home.
Tea party (Japanese black tea tasting)
If the weather is fine, we will move to the tea fields to enjoy a leisurely tea ceremony while admiring the tea fields and the natural scenery of Yunotsuru. Minamata sweets, perfectly paired with Japanese black tea, will also be provided. In case of bad weather, the tea ceremony will be held at Tsurunoya.
