We had an awesome time riding bikes from the Shizuoka station, through downtown, into the countryside and tea farms. The tea ceremony was very comprehensive, we tasted many different brews and they explained the chemistry behind the flavors. Our guides were very accommodating and kind, they took great photos and emailed them afterwards.
