Gyokuro no Sato is a roadside station beside the Asahina River in Okabe, Fujieda City. At the Hyogetsutei tea room, you can enjoy gyokuro green tea or matcha with a tea sweet. Cha no Hana-tei houses a restaurant and a local products shop. Plan the length of your stop around whether you want time in the tea room, lunch, or souvenir shopping.
At Hyogetsutei (瓢月亭), you can enjoy tea while looking out over a Japanese garden. An admission ticket includes gyokuro green tea or matcha and a tea sweet, so allow time for tea separately from shopping.
The restaurant serves dishes such as cha soba, buckwheat noodles made with tea. The local products shop sells local tea, farm produce, tea sweets, and tea utensils. The restaurant closes earlier than the shop, so you can plan lunch before shopping.
Usually, admission to the tea room ends at 4:30 p.m., while the restaurant takes last orders at 2:30 p.m. The station is listed as about a 10-minute drive from Fujieda-Okabe Interchange on the Shin-Tomei Expressway.
