Visiting Yame tea farm, Fukuoka

Before going to the wisteria flower tunnel in Kurogi, we went to the Yame Central Tea Field.
Yamecha (八女茶) is produced in Yame and surrounding areas, and is a tea known throughout Japan.

About 3 km further up the road from the cooperative office, you can find a parking lot and an observation deck. From here, you can see the big green tea garden on a hillside and even the Ariake Sea and the Shimabara Peninsula on clear day.

The tea picking season will be coming soon.
