About Sayama Tea Fields ― how to enjoy a walk
A "Sayama tea" production area spanning Iruma, Tokorozawa, and Sayama cities in western Saitama — one of "Japan's 3 great teas" alongside Uji and Shizuoka. Vast fresh-green tea fields combined with Mt. Fuji create stunning views; May new-tea picking experience is also popular.
Bus or taxi from Seibu Ikebukuro Line "Iruma-shi Station" or "Sayama-shi Station" to the tea field area. Tea field tour and direct sales shop visits take 2-3 hours. Tea-picking experience (May, reservation required) and Sayama tea soft-serve ice cream are signatures.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Sayama Tea Fields
Tourist areas across Saitama have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
Tea fields are agricultural land — smoking is strictly forbidden as smoke adhering to tea leaves causes quality degradation. Smoke at the designated areas in front of Iruma-shi or Sayama-shi Station, or smoking corners around direct sales shops.
How to find smoking areas near Sayama Tea Fields
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
