Miyanoen

sightseeing

As said in the "Sayama tea picking song", "Shizuoka is color, Uji is the scent, but flavor, that is limited to Sayama". Sayama tea is one of Japan's three great tea sorts together with Shizuoka and Uji. It is considered to be one of the "large teas". At Miyanoen, you can familiarize yourself with Sayama tea through different workshops. In the tea picking experience, you can don the typical red apron (paid rental), pick and drink tea, try tea leaf tempura, and enjoy matcha art. This is a place to truly enjoy Sayama tea and Japanese tea culture.

Houses of farmers who are responsible for the production of Miyoshi-machi’s specialty product “Fuji-no-kawagoe-Imo” are lined up on the highroad. During the season, banner-flags are risen and a range of products can be bought directly from each farmer which is something that can only be done at the district of production (from September to January). There are also farmers who sell ice cream and yōkan made by Fuji-no-kawagoe-Imo and shōchū. In addition, there are large Japanese zelkovas on both sides of the highroad which is another highlight.

Saiboku Natural Hot Spring Kacho Fugetsu
Saiboku Natural Hot Spring Kacho Fugetsu

The bath uses water a close distance to the source, a gensen (hot spring source) 2,000 meters underground. The water is rich in sodium and heats the body to its core. Due to the warming effects of the sodium, the bath is known as "Atamari no Yu" (warming bath). In addition, the hydrogen ion concentration is pH 8.1. This low alkaline water also helps soften dead skin cells, earning the bath the additional name of "Bihada no Yu" (bath for beautiful skin). Please enjoy the exquisite waters from the Kachōfūgetsu source. Also on the premises of this vast facility are a beauty salon, a massage parlor and a refreshing oxygen room. We offer a relaxing environment for each and every customer. (Please refer to the URL below for more information regarding the facility.)
