[Kyoto] Japan's oldest tea plantation

●Name Ikōan ●Access 8 Umegahata Toganōchō, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 🚗There is a private parking lot at Kosan-ji Temple ●Points Kōsan-ji Temple is known as the place where tea was first cultivated in Japan Tea spread from here to Uji in Kyoto and then throughout the country Tea seeds brought back from China were passed on to the monk Myōe, who planted and cultivated them in the mountains, and they were found to have the effect of waking up sleep that hinders training, so he recommended them to the monks. Ikōan is a teahouse completed with the generosity of 100 tea masters from all over the country I visited in early October, but the signs of autumn have yet to come The autumn leaves in Kyoto will be at their best from around November 20th to 25th🍁 #AutumnTravel #AutumnLeafSpots
