Overview

Sayama Hills are only an hour away from central Tokyo, where Totoro is said to live, which is famous for the animated movie "My Neighbor Totoro". The landscape of Satoyama, dotted with lakes, thickets, and green tea farms, is an oasis for the soul that makes everyone feel nostalgic. If you walk along the path, you will encounter various plants, insects, and wild birds. Near the Sayama hills, which are truly a treasure trove of nature, you can see many tea farmers producing Sayama tea, one of Japan’s three most famous teas. One of them, Wada-en, is a simple, long-established tea farm that has been loved by locals for a long time.

In addition to experiencing tea picking and learning basic tea knowledge, you can also enjoy homemade Italian food made with local ingredients. "Wahoan", an old private house built nearly 70 years ago, located in the Wada-en, can accommodate up to 8 people. You can also use the bathroom and kitchen freely. It is a relaxing spot that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, such as those who want to spend some quiet time alone in the tea garden, travelers tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, and families who want to spend their holidays relaxing.
