Matcha Grinding Experience and Walking Tour in Uji Kyoto

Eri was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the best route based on our interests, helping us make the most of the day. She also shared great recommendations for places to visit afterwards. Thank you, Eri, for all your helpful tips!

A fun casual tour of Uji combined with a matcha grinding experience where you grind and make your own cup of matcha tea. Super casual and low key. Fine for families with kids (probably ages 8+).

We were lucky to have Eri as our guide for this tour - she was amazing! It was just my girlfriend and I on this tour so Eri spent time to get to know us and our matcha experience to cater this tour towards our needs and likes! She is an avid matcha drinker too so we really appreciated her recommendations for matcha types and the local matcha shops in Uji. She shared her knowledge of Uji’s history with us throughout the tour and answered all of our questions we had about Japanese culture. She even helped us navigate the bus system to our next stop after the tour! As for the actual matcha grinding experience, it was fun and delicious! Eri and the other staff members were so kind to show us how to use the tools and tips/tricks to make the best cup of matcha (and the hojicha tea jelly at the end was also delicious!!) 10/10 recommend this tour if you’re new to matcha, like myself, but also a great way to learn and explore Uji!

This was such a fun tour and Eri was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She helped us have a super fun time and I highly recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys Matcha!

Vincent was an awesome tour guide, he took us to Uji and a couple of temples with the matcha experience. He was full of knowledge and made the experience even better with history and stories of the stops! Highly recommend the tour and ask for Vincent!
