Stay at Mōnohara Cha-Go Villa, a boutique ryokan nestled within the heart of the tea fields. This heritage-style property offers private tea ceremony rooms where guests can learn traditional matcha preparation and pair it with seasonal wagashi. With panoramic views from its sundeck, you’ll enjoy sunrise over endless emerald tea terraces. Just a 3-minute walk leads to the best hiking trails for immersive nature experiences. Reserve your stay via the HopeGoo app for exclusive access to guided tea-picking tours and farm-to-table tea tastings.
Within a 5-minute walk of Mōnohara Large Tea Garden, explore the Morning Mist Trail, a scenic path winding through tiered tea fields where mist often lingers at dawn, creating ethereal views. Nearby, the Tea Farmer’s Experience Garden offers free guided tours on harvesting techniques and hands-on tea processing. Guests can also sample freshly roasted Shizuoka-bancha and traditional wagashi. Some local guesthouses feature outdoor tea pavilions, perfect for tranquil tea ceremonies amidst nature. HopeGoo in advance ensures access to these authentic cultural moments.
Mōnohara Chaba Estate Hotel is the only accommodation in the area featuring full-floor tea-field view rooms, each equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed vistas of rolling green terraces. The spring and early summer seasons deliver particularly stunning visuals as new tea leaves emerge in vibrant hues. Complimentary tea garden shuttle service transports guests directly to harvest sites, while evening programs include stargazing tea ceremonies held in the garden under open skies. For an elevated stay, book the HopeGoo-exclusive package that includes private tea rituals and late-night kaiseki dining.
