Elements of Japan: Shizuoka - Travel Beyond Tokyo - Bilingual Japanese/English Japan Travel Series

In this episode of Elements of Japan, we travel to Shizuoka, a prefecture about 90 minutes southwest of Tokyo. You'll see the mountainous tea fields of the prefecture and learn from the growers about how the drink gets from the field to your glass. You'll see the birthplace of wasabi farming, learn how the plant is produced and processed, and hear directly from wasabi growers about how it's actually supposed to taste. You'll also learn about Shizuoka's connection with Tokugawa Ieyasu (one of Japan's most prominent historical figures) and his perhaps unlikely connection to the world of modern plastic model making.

We hope you explore this Japan travel experience and learn something new about Japanese culture. Presented in Japanese Language with English narration.
