Go Local in Ureshino
Tea, Onsen, Pottery — and the People Behind Them
Ureshino, located in Saga Prefecture, is a town shaped by traditions that have been passed down through generations — from its famous hot springs and Ureshino tea to Hizen Yoshida pottery.
This one-day experience takes you beyond the usual sightseeing spots and invites you to discover Ureshino through its culture, everyday life, and the people who call it home.
Ride through beautiful tea fields and the countryside by e-bike, visit a local tea farm, meet the farmer, and enjoy a cup of delicious Ureshino tea together.
And you'll meet a local maker and get a closer look at the craftsmanship and creativity behind Hizen Yoshida pottery.
In the afternoon, spend some free time at a traditional Japanese ryokan centered around wellness. Relax in the hot springs, get some work done in a comfortable workspace, or simply enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace.
Later, you can join an optional walk through Ureshino's historic streets. Along the way, discover the town's history and everyday local life through footbaths, shrines, tea-inspired sweets, and more.
This experience isn't just about seeing Ureshino. It's about meeting, talking, eating, working, and getting a small taste of everyday life in the community.
