Your tour, exclusive to Seabourn Guests, begins at the Murakami Tea Garden, which is located in the mountainous region. From this meticulously cultivated tea garden, you can enjoy a breathtaking view with Shimizu Port to your left and the majestic Mt. Fuji floating above a sea of clouds directly ahead if the weather permits.
During your visit, you will see the tea plantation and learn about the challenges and intricacies of growing tea plants. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to taste the tea grown by the dedicated farmers of this garden.
Following your tea exploration, proceed to a local restaurant that serves Japanese-style lunch. Here, you can indulge in a traditional Japanese meal accompanied by a selection of teas curated by a Tea Master. The Tea Master will personally prepare the tea for each dish and provide detailed explanations, offering a unique experience of tea preparation. You will delight in this experience through the aromas, visual presentation, and taste sensations.
Return to the pier.
