- Wazuka is a beautiful hidden Japanese tea town in Kyoto. Perfect day trip to take from Kyoto, Osaka, Nara or any of the surrounding Kansai prefectures.
I really love this town and think it is just absolutely beautiful! If you are a tea lover(especially macha) and love nature then this is the perfect place for you to travel to in Kyoto :)

Wow!!!!
This is my home town!!
Thank you so much!!
I living in Canada now. I saw my parents house,friends house.
You make me cry.
Thank you again.
Send me some tea yo
@@migueljaime7079 You can order direct using tenso. I can recommend rakuten shops e-daisan and hiraoka88, been ordering from them for years.
YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME HERE IT'S A MAGICAL PLACE!!! I went here last week by myself for a day trip and it was the best decision I've ever made. I was a little nervous travelling to a rural place with little to no english signs (warning, the bus going to wazuka does not have any english signs/announcements at all so be extra attentive when listening to the stops) but everyone there was so helpful. The station officer was kind enough to go out of his way to show me where the bus stop is. The greatest part about this place aside from the beautiful scenery? It's. Not. Crowded. With. Tourists. For the 8 hours I;ve spent there I've only seen about 2 other tourists biking around. It was bliss!! Went to the sky cafe and I was the first person to go up there. I literally felt like I was the only person there LOL This place took all my travel stress away. Thank you Angela san for bringing me to this place!
N Wyna how would you compare this to places like shirakawago?
Is this place accessible to JR pass? If you dont mind, will you write the details in how did you go there? Thank you
I'm very interested in going there-- I'm a tea lover.
I am here right now. You are SO RIGHT
Happy Sunday everyone! Did you have a productive week? ;)
Sharing another video part of my hidden spot series! There’s always something to find in every corner of Japan, and I’m so glad I explored Wazuka because this place is fricking amazing
internationally ME Happy Sunday Angela! You didn't look too stable on that bicycle, riding one handed :) Ask for camera glasses for Christmas instead?
internationally ME I had a boring week
but when I see something about your channel I start to feel happy
I'm going to Wazuka in July! Thanks for the video :)
People in Kyoto, especially the bus drivers, have always seemed a bit more brusque or rude and stand-offish than other parts of Japan. Any thoughts?
John Karavitis wow
i think your the best youtuber there is .
cause you can feel the love you put in all the vids and how you show everything .
best vids best feeling . reall fun .
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 😭 I like to edit each video trying to convey how I felt at the time it was taken and put my feelings into it rather than a set format so it makes me happy that you can feel that :)
You deserve top comment for saying the sweetest things. Really appreciate it
These are the words of a true editor, it takes a lot of energy to make a really good story with all the same feeling and emotions that you had at the time of filming! Great stuff. - Josh
She's my new favorite too! Angela tours & enjoys Japan the way I do, off the beaten trail, walking & bike riding in addition to the typical. I will be visiting new places because of these awesome videos.
something about your videos are so calming. It's always a chill and happy vibe coming from your videos.
Bearded Rayquaza I think it's the choice of music
I just went to Japan with my family for the first time ever. We went to this place and it's all thanks to you. We actually had a friend of ours from Kyoto who had never even been to Wazuka, and she was amazed. Thank you so much.
6:05 the covers on the tea field are used to shade the tea 😊 it’s for producing gyokuro, a shaded green tea! Love this video!
I've always wondered how accessible Wazuka would be and I'm sooo glad you visited the place and share it with us :D
What a beautiful place and youre charming as always
Yet another great video, you make Japan come alive thank you for all the tips and places of interests, stay safe and well.
I visited Wazuka because of your video. Was beautiful!
Wonderful video Angela. It's always amazing to see Japan outside of Tokyo...lol albeit living here 12 years...there is always somewhere beautiful in this amazing country
yes !! another video ! thank you for the video ~ notification squad here !!!!!!!!
You're always so early, Aby ;)
Wow this place looks beautiful.....
after a long night shift in hospital, your video is a great cure for my boredom and tiredness. thanks and keep making one :)
Love how the sunshine glimmers through the camera with the background of nature. Kyoto is missed 😭
That cycling scene under sakura tree is beautiful.
I don't even know hiw much to thank you. I followed step by step your tour and we had a GREAT DAY. If you look for wazuka in google maps for directions you can't find it, but I followed everything you said and I made it so easily. The sky cafè experience...UNVELIEVABLE, and the restaurant you suggest, SO DELICIOUS!
Angela, you and your videos are addictive! love the hidden series so much! too much love from Singapore!
I'm glad you do! P.s I would love to visit Singapore!!! I love the food
internationally ME come visit some day! I could show u around too!
I have to say i am really enjoying your videoes and you make it were entertaining.
I had no idea that Japan had so many gems
Omg you played that song "feel the same way" that I listen to every day I was SHOOK 💕💞
It looks so nice.
And all those swimming pools!
Haha you mean ponds?! 😆
I visited this tea farm last week because of this video and it was AMAZING!! We were unable to reserve the sky cafe but still had the chance to see the beautiful fields :) Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos because if it wasn't for you, we would be stuck at all the typical crowded touristy places in Kyoto.
Hello, was it difficult to communicate with people there ? :) I only speak English :/
if you want to do a tea farm tour, you can visit obubu tea farm, or D-matcha. their staff speak english. i stay in a farmer house for a night. the host speak a little bit english, the host family is really nice, and you can tour around their tea farm and try more than 20 different teas (wazukanko.com/event/enutoenu/)
What a beautiful place!
Nice video ! It seems so charming and peaceful there !!
It is ;) Different vibe from NZ's nature but still loving being surround by 🌳⛰
I went here today and honestly, it was best experience ever! I highly recommend coming and exploring the area. It’s such a beautiful area and such a nice contrast to the bustling cities of Japan. My cousin and I went from Kyoto station took the Nara line to Kizu Station before taking the Yamatoji line to Kamo station! If you want, you can google map to Kamo station, but you won’t find a direct route to Wazuka. Once your at Kamo station, take the west exit and you’ll find a bus stop immediately to your right. That’s the bus that takes you to Wazuka! You’ll want to get off at Wazuka Yamanoie stop, which is a 480 yen fare. Once you’re there you can direct yourself to Wazuka cafe where you can make a reservation at the Sky Cafe! I highly recommend the hot match milk! Everyone there is absolutely the sweetest! The bus driver recommended some places to eat and instructed us where to go. You can get around with knowing little to no Japanese. They offer English menus at their restaurants and are very attentive. I was able to get to the Sky cafe, rent a bike, and order food. The restaurant owners of Yamanoji shared with us pictures taken of Wazuka in the past and her favorite teas with us! Thank you so much for sharing this video, one of the highlights of my entire trip!
This looks so great! I'm loving all of your "hidden spots" videos, I'm going to visit a lot of them!! Maybe your other viewers have already visited and made them not so hidden anymore? :P
There’s so many hidden spots so I’m sure everyone is scattered around at different times too :p
Because of this vid, I arranged to go to Wazaku in October ;) Thank you for letting us know a wonderful place like this!
yes... it is really a wonderful town
That's another pin to my travel map. I always love your end credits scene
Haha the one when I'm far away from the camera?
internationally ME yes, and there is one with the deer one I think
This video came at the right time! I will be heading over to Kyoto in a few weeks time and was pondering where the 穴場s are located! Thanks so much for your recommendation, your videos are awesome! :)
I've got another Kyoto 穴場 video on my channel if you're interested :) loved that place just as much too!
as usual your videos are always amazing and interesting :D! would it be a challenge communicating with the shop-keepers there, if my Japanese skills weren't that great? haha my last resort would be to point to pictures
Many people come to Japan without being able to speak the language and manage :) More and more stores have English menus now and even if it's a local store like this one, tourists have been there before so you'll be fine 👍🏼 I'll also be doing a video about this soon to address the question in more detail and give some tips :D
O OK sounds good, thanks a bunch for the reply hehe! :)
What I really like about your videos is that you show us exactly where on the map that city you're going to visit. Also, your friendly voice and informative talk makes the video better. It's not too long or short and your editing is great. Thank you for all of those videos and if you come back to NZ lets hang out ^_^
I would love to move to a small town like that X-) The cats sleeping were so cute lol And keep those bonus scenes coming, they're a great way to end the videos =)
Your channel is lit, I like the Tokyo vid too
Oh wow thanks for this video. I have one day left in Kyoto. Now I know where I would like to visit. 😀
Perfect timing ;)
First time posting on RUclips....I love your videos!
Thank you Dan!!
The passion to travel and explore always shines through your videos. Great advice for when i am in Kyoto again. You are awesome
l love the tea field scene.. hopefully after the pandemic , i can take trip to Wazuka.. I am in NYC, United States.. Thank you
Wow!! I haven't ever been to Kyoto and now I want to go!
Truth be told- I plan to apply for work in about a year (once I graduate) in Japan. We lived in Okinawa before, but wanted to include other locations for applications. I love your videos because they give myself and my son glimpses into other parts of Japan we would otherwise not really think about. Thank you! Can't wait for the next video 🤗
Wow, thank you so much! I want to go here in a couple weeks but had no idea where to start. Wazuka Cafe it is!
What a outstanding video!, this town reminds me sooo much of the town from Totoro....
Oh yeah, now that you mention it... it kind of does :D
Something to add to the itinerary for my next trip to Nihon then!
You always make great videos
@Angela well this was the video I was waiting for long long time. I really like countryside of the Japan, they are so beautiful especially when those rice fields are full of water and the view that we get from top of terrain oh I got only one word for this "MESMERIZING".
Thank you so much Angela for your wonderful videos of Japan, makes me want to back there and spend a lot more time exploring areas outside of the big cities.
Kyoto is so beautiful. Thanks for the video Angela. You're each time prettier.
Aw thank you Sergio!
definitely coming back...this time all the places you recommend... I love Kansai!!!
I love your videos so much Angela! There is not a single one I haven't enjoyed. Trying to plan a trip to Japan and your videos and travel tips definitely come in handy! Love from Canada.
Thanks Jonathan! Glad to hear you like them! Working on some new video ideas so hoping to make them more interesting and enjoyable to watch :D
, Yes happy touring Japan through RUclips, haven't got chances to visit Japan , perhaps someday soon , I keep my words
やっぱり、いつ見てもかわいいっす😍
そう言って頂いて嬉しいです！😆 英語ばかりなのに、いつも観てくださって本当にありがとうございます☺️🙏🏼

such a beautiful video! it just gets better and better!!
I definitely have to visit this town, the cafe, the... everything !!! The matcha noodle is so cheap , O M G !!! And you look so pretty riding the electric bike!😉 really great video Angela !!
This place is a treat to my eyes. It's so scenic. I love that there are no tourists. I hope that I can converse with sky cafe owners
Now I'm excited. Thanks for sharing this.
there's green everywhere, such a nice place i would love to live there when I'm old...
You are one of the channels I always check when I'm looking to make plans in a new city!!!
great video as usual, one secret uncover.
Wow so happy time
I just got back from my trip to Japan. Just wanted to say that your videos were very helpful in planning my trip. Thank You. Arigatou Gozaimasu!
Ahh なつかしい 😻 I did an internship on a tea farm there this past winter! It's so nice to see Wazuka in the spring!
Also fun fact about the black covers: they block the sunlight from the leaves, which creates a sweeter tea that's often considered higher quality ☺️ This is used for teas like gyokuro, kabuse sencha, and matcha! おいしい！
Oh wow! I would love to do something like that! We were actually planning to do tea leaf picking but you had to book beforehand and it was only on certain dates so that was a bummer ;(
Thank you for your fun fact too! 勉強になりました＾＾
The bike tour looked so fun. i want to do that. glad you didn't crash. 😉😆
As much fun to watch, as it looked to make!
Well done!
Thank you!
that makes me want to go to the rural areas of Japan.
your fanbase will grow like crazy just keep up the good work😊
Thank you :) Just sharing what I enjoy so it's nice to find viewers who also enjoy similar things to me :D
I'd like to visit Japan in autumn with my father and therefore watching youtube videos to get impressions and ideas for places to visit during the trip. I really like your videos and getting always the urge to pack my stuff and jump into the next plane immediately :)
Awesome travel videos!!!!
I like exploring hidden places, the green tea soba noodle looks insanely delicious
RUclips lack relaxing wholesome stuff like this.
こんにちわ、Johnさんの動画から飛んできました大阪在住の中年のオッサンです。その辺りはゴルフ場が多いのでよく行きますが、お茶の町とは知りませんでした。次回寄ってみます。ニュージーランドの方ですね.... 私は10年程前、ＮＺへ行ったことがあります。オークランドで食べた海鮮料理がおいしかった事、マウントクックの麓の湖（名前忘れた）がとても綺麗だった事が印象に残っています。それにしても、編集が上手いですね、テンポがいい。他の動画もこれから見ます。頑張って下さい。
こんにちは＾＾ご視聴ありがとうございます！オークランドに行ったことがあるんですね。地元なのでそう言って頂いてとても嬉しいです！これからも宜しくお願い致します。
Finding this adorable film made my day. Not only is Kyoto's region my most fav place in the entire world! I get to meet you two wonderful

Hi Angela. I recently went to Japan and went to Wazuka. Thank you for posting this video. The experience of biking in this place was great. I enjoyed the serenity of this place. There’s not a lot of tourists in this place. Good recommendation. Deborah here from NZ!
