Shizuoka Green tea farms

At last I visited Shizuoka Green tea plants. The wide view of green tea plants in maintains, it is wonderful with ocean view far distances. It was nice sunny day to visit the green tea plants. I made a small trip to Shizuoka prefecture that is very famous place for green tea. The place is having proper weather for green tea trees. That was Japanese governmental idea to grow green tea field there. At the end of Edo period in 1853, Japan opened ports again after 250 years except China and Nether land. Japan wanted something to export. Green tea was one of good commerce tool for foreigners. Then Shizuoka was elected to cultivate fields for green tea. The prefecture has one more advantage. That was port. The port is very close from green tea plants. So Shizuoka was very suitable place. Still you can see so many famous companies there like Yamaha because of port merit.
