Shizuoka

The most notable feature of Shizuoka is its location at the foot of the Southern Alps, which boasts very high-altitude tea gardens. Additionally, many of the excellent tea-producing areas are situated on steep valley slopes. The mist generated from the clear streams at the valley bottoms, combined with the high altitude, creates a significant temperature difference between day and night. These ideal conditions contribute to producing very high-quality tea.
