3. Live Your Best Ghibli Life on a Yame Tea Field and Yanagawa River Boat Day Tour
@gbragon Gliding through history on the Yanagawa Canal 🌸✨ Discover Japan’s hidden charm, one serene boat ride at a time. 🛶 📍 Yanagawa, Fukuoka 832-0824 #YanagawaCruise #HiddenGems JapanTravel” #YanagawaCruise #HiddenGems JapanTravel” #yanagawa #柳川 #yanagawarivercruise #kyushu #japantravels
A dreamy day trip that combines Japan’s tea culture, traditional crafts, and scenic boat rides through the “Venice of Kyushu”.
The YokaBus Yame Tea Fields and Yanagawa River Boat Day Tour is basically every Studio Ghibli film rolled into one perfect day out. You’ll cruise through Yanagawa’s picturesque canals, try your hand at making traditional Yame Washi paper, and wander through sprawling tea fields that produce some of Japan’s finest gyokuro green tea.
@iskatmanatu The Great Green Tea Farm is located in Yame, and would require a little drive up the mountain to get to the looking point. Apart from Uji (Kyoto), Yame is also famous for green tea, in its own unique way. Being in the Kyushu island, the minerals in the soil of Kyushu contributes to the distinct nutty taste in their green tea’s taste profile. #tiktoktravel #traveljapan #travel #greentea #matcha #fukuoka
The Ushijima Seicha tea factory visit (available mid-January to mid-June and late September to mid-December) gives you behind-the-scenes access to the tea-making process, while outside these periods, you’ll still score a complimentary tea pack to take home.
It’s the kind of authentic Japanese experience that’ll have your Instagram followers green with envy literally, given all those tea fields.
Important to note: This tour runs every Tuesday to Friday.
Ticket for Adult / Child (Age 4+) starts from SGD100+
