Obuchi Sasaba — Attraction in Fuji

Beautiful tea farm! First time at a Japanese tea farm and I’m very happy. It’s free to get in and there’s ample parking. I took many pics and tried their tea, super refreshing. They also have tea picking experience and you can pick fresh tea leaves. Despite the sunny weather today, the clouds just so happened that they covered Mount Fuji, which was disappointing. I’m not gonna give a one star rating for that tho.

Beautiful lookout in the hills above Fuji, and at the foot of the mighty mountain itself. Lovely tea gardens and forest, small timber photo platform, cafe (I think, it was closed when we were there).

Obuchi sasaba nestled in rural area of fujinomiya, accessible by very limited bus from fujinomiya station, around 600 yen one way fare bus. Walking from the sobina shita bus stop near 711 are mysterious, chill, relaxing, and full of serenity.

When i was there, i was alone and its really relaxing to just spend time walking around the green tea field. A worthy experience for anyone...
