Tea Plantation Landscape of Wazuka
A green carpet smoothly covering the mountain slopes—the tea plantation landscape of Wazuka possesses a beauty that makes you stop in your tracks. This is a scenery Kyoto is proud of, and it is a member of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in Japan' federation. These tea plantations, which have been passed down continuously since the Kamakura period, are the first registered landscape asset of Kyoto Prefecture. In 2015, they were also designated as a Japan Heritage site as part of the '800-Year History of Japanese Tea Walk.' Because these plantations exist alongside daily life, the warmth of human hands permeates the scenery. Walking paths around the tea fields are well-maintained, allowing visitors to enjoy their various expressions throughout the four seasons. The time when the morning mist envelops the tea leaves is particularly exceptional. It makes you want to visit this magnificent view with a cup of Wazuka tea in hand.
