I was in Japan in March on tea business and visited the tea museum outside of Shizuoka. If you take a train from Tokyo to Kyoto, you can stop off here for a couple of hours. You can also wonder into some of the tea fields and they have a shop selling a good selection of Japanese tea products inclusing soaps, face packs etc etc!
