A serene view of lush tea fields against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, showcasing the beauty of Japans iconic tea-growing region.

Green Tea Fields at Mount Fuji

You can visit a very pleasant spot very near Mount Fuji to appreciate the fields of green tea. Best to go in spring, early in the morning.

In Japan, the Tea Ceremony is a fine art that demands years of practice. But there’s no denying that this ceremony – beautiful as it is – won’t necessarily make your tea any better! Perhaps even the opposite: the ceremony is very strict, calm and genteel – often too much for Westerners. But fortunately, there is an alternative.

You can visit a very pleasant spot very near Mount Fuji to appreciate the fields of green tea. Best to go in spring, early in the morning – it’s less than two hours from Tokyo by car.

Try to get as close as possible to the point shown on the map. You can’t go wrong, just follow the other cars or visitors on foot. Japanese photographers, determined and serious, will all be there already waiting for the sun to reach the ideal height to illuminate the scene perfectly.

I’m exaggerating of course, but by getting there early enough you’ll have peace until around 10 o’clock, after which there seem to be tours and even photography courses.

But before the noise of the visitors and the clicks of the photographers, you’ll have a moment all to yourself between the fields of green tea and Mount Fuji. To complete the picture, don’t of course forget to open the bottle of tea that you’ve bought from the convenience store (combini). The atmosphere will work its magic and I’m sure the taste of the tea will complete the picture.

Next, head for the tree in the middle of the fields, take pictures of your other half or your children with red parasols – Japan holiday snaps sorted!
