Miyanoen

sightseeing

As sung in the "Sayama tea picking song," "Shizuoka is color, Uji is scent, but Sayama's flavor is victorious." Sayama tea is one of Japan's three great tea varieties together with Shizuoka and Uji. At Miyanoen, you can experience Sayama tea hands-on 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.

The large Japanese elm trees on either side of the road are another charming attraction.

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

The bath uses water close 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.)
