Matcha in the Bamboo Forest
Wakayama Farm is located in Utsunomiya City, in the north of Tokyo, with about 24 hectares of fields set against the backdrop of the Nikko mountain range. For over a century, the farm has been dedicated to the mindset that "agriculture begins with cultivating the soil," practicing natural and sustainable farming methods with a focus on bamboo shoots and chestnuts.
Having faced bamboo and soil for generations, a time came when bamboo fell out of common use, and the farm became a unique space that could not be found elsewhere.
As a result, it has been utilized as a location for many film shoots, gaining attention and prompting the desire to open it up with the intention of allowing people to feel close to bamboo.
Step into the bamboo forest, enveloped by the sunlight filtering through the bamboo and the rustling of leaves, and get away from your daily life as you enjoy the tranquility.
●Enjoyable Even in the Rain
The bamboo grove takes on a deeper, more vibrant green on rainy days, creating a truly breathtaking scene.
Taking a break at our tented tea house along the trail—sipping tea while gazing at the bamboo—is the ultimate way to enjoy a peaceful rainy day.
●Matcha with Original Sweets
Savor your Matcha in a handcrafted bamboo cup, served with our highly popular "Oh Kuri"—Freshly picked chestnuts from our farm. Bamboo cup can be reused so please take it home and enjoy in your own way!
While our Matcha service is normally available on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, we also accept reservations for groups on weekdays. (A minimum guarantee of 10 servings is required.)
