A quiet matcha experience in Japan's snow country
Matcha is loved the world over — here you can try it far from the tourist crowds. At the Daitozan Art Museum, a 7-minute drive from Amamizushima Hills, you whisk your own bowl in a 120-year-old tatami room overlooking the garden, with a handmade seasonal nerikiri sweet. Combine it with onsen and rice-terrace touring from the house.
