This day tour of about 9 hours (YokaBus Heritage in a Cup) departs by bus from Hakata Station and lets you experience Yame tea and Japanese sake, two of Fukuoka's signature specialties, in a single day. Admire tea fields that look like a green carpet from the Yame Central Tea Plantation observation deck, and enjoy a lunch featuring Yame tea and a hands-on matcha grinding experience at the Tea Culture Center. In the afternoon, visit a local sake brewery to see the traditional brewing process up close and taste the sake.

Leave Hakata Station by bus, visit the Yame Traditional Crafts Museum, then head to the observation deck of Yame Central Tea Plantation, where vast tea fields spread out. The green-carpet scenery unfolds in a panorama, and on clear days you can see as far as the Ariake Sea and the Shimabara Peninsula, making it a great photo spot. Yame tea is a green tea produced in Fukuoka Prefecture and is well known for gyokuro, a premium shade-grown green tea.

Visit the Tea Culture Center (Cha no Bunkakan), which introduces the history, production methods and varieties of Yame tea. Enjoy a lunch using local ingredients and Yame tea, and grind your own matcha to enjoy with traditional wagashi sweets.

Visit a sake brewery in Fukuoka Prefecture to see the traditional sake-making process up close and enjoy a tasting. Breweries visited include Chikushi no Homare in the Kurume Jojima area, brewing since 1897, and Kobayashi Shuzo, founded in 1792 and still producing small batches by hand. Throughout the tour, a guide who speaks English and Japanese shares stories about Fukuoka's history and culture.
