Ukiha is a rural region where countryside and wheat fields spread out over the gentle Mino mountain range at an altitude of 600 meters.
The orchard on the slope of the mountain is home to a fruit kingdom where it is possible to harvest fruits such as grapes, pears, persimmons, and strawberries that have been showered in sunlight all year round.
The town area of Ukiha offers a delightful streetscape in which old whitewashed houses that have stood for over 100 years line up side by side, continuing into the distance. Walking through the streets of Ukiha, you can’t help but feel like you have traveled back in time.
This online tour features a guest appearance from the owner of a local sake brewery.

Home to Quality Green Tea Yame - Fukuoka
An expansive tea plantation and seemingly endless rows of small, terraced green tea fields on the slopes of the surrounding mountainside make up Yame’s iconic landscape.
600 years ago, a small tea plant was the beginning of everything. Over the years, the local people here have cherished and developed Yame’s green tea into what it is now. Today, this area is renowned all over the world as being the “Home of Gyokuro”, the highest quality green tea.
On this tour, you will learn various stories about green tea and the important figures who have passed down the green tea culture over the centuries. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings that boast tremendous fertile land, an abundance of fresh river-bed water, and a gentle mist that appears over the green tea fields in the morning and at night.
