    Fukui Awara Onsen Hot Spring & Matcha Experience Tour

    This is a tea-ceremony outing at Awara Onsen in Fukui, not a Uji matcha-making workshop. After one onsen visit, guests are guided through matcha at a traditional tea shop and a Japanese garden walk. Uji travel and stone-milling are not included.

How we chose

  • A tea ceremony, hands-on matcha grinding and a tasting are different formats. Check the duration, ingredients used and whether tasting is included.
  • Confirm the language of instruction, reservation time, age requirements and whether you can take home anything you prepare.
  • Check the walking time from Uji Station to your chosen venue and leave enough time before your reservation.
