Introduction to Komatsuen

Devoted to tea — now in year 69 since our founding

Komatsuen is located in front of Baiinji Temple, where Shimizu Jirocho rests. Since opening in 1958, we have been supported by local people and by customers from all over Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south,
including the many tourists who visit us from across the country, and we have continued in business to this day.

I want to share the beauty of Shizuoka tea with as many people as possible.
I would like to share the culture of Shizuoka with as many people as possible by talking to as many customers as possible.

Every year, foreign customers from the U.S., Canada, Hawaii, France, Korea, and Taiwan visit our store.

Our customers are always smiling, and conversations about tea flow freely.

We are a small store, but we hope you will stop by.

We mainly sell tea from our partner tea gardens in Shimizu, Shizuoka, and tea from Honyama (the upper reaches of the Abe River).

Komatsuen mainly sells Shizuoka tea from the vast tea gardens of Yoshiwara in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, where the previous owner was born and raised (mandarin oranges were also grown there in the past).
The Shizuoka tea grown here is treated with plenty of organic fertilizer and is finished with a lot of care.

Rather than simply recommending different teas, we offer a wide variety of teas with different tastes, aromas, and colors depending on where they are grown, the environment, and how they are finished.
We encourage our customers to compare teas from different regions.

We hope you will find your favorite flavor.

Depending on the time of year, we also hold mini-events such as “all-you-can-stuff tea” and “tea candy grabbing.”

 

There is a free parking lot (three tourist buses can park there).

This is the front of Baiinji Temple, the family temple of Jirocho of Shimizu.
There is also a parking lot that can accommodate four sightseeing buses.

Of course, locals and general customers are welcome to use our parking lot as well.

Shimizu Jirocho’s birthplace is only about a five-minute walk from our store.

For tourists, with your limited time in mind, we have prepared a wide selection of recommended vacuum-packed Shizuoka teas, organic teas, and value products in advance.

Of course, if you have time, we can pack your favorite items on the spot.

Admission to Baiinji Temple is until 4:00 p.m., so if you are a tourist, please visit Baiinji Temple first!

After visiting the temple, please relax at our store.
