Green Tea Fields

Located not so far from Ise Grand Shrine alongside the Miya River and between the small hills you will find the city of Watari, its rice fields and its many green tea fields. Japanese green tea fields around Mt Fuji are indeed very popular, but tea grows pretty much everywhere in Japan and each region, a bit like French wine, has its own kind of tea, famous for its very unique, yet subtle, taste.

Next time you are visiting Ise, make sure to have a bit of time to enjoy Watari City and its many green tea fields as well as to sip a good cup of traditional Japanese tea.
