Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yame in Fukuoka combines tea-growing and historic merchant streets. The tea fields and Fukushima district are separate stops; start with one after arranging transport.

This guide covers places within Yame, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Yame tea is green tea produced in the city and surrounding growing areas, including sencha and gyokuro. Check product origins, tea types and ingredients, and confirm activity operation and booking arrangements. Not all Yame tea comes from the same field in this city.
