The tea bushes are a famous feature of this garden.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Very nice tea field. Kagoshima is also a famous place for green tea.

Guess I've never actually seen a tea bush. Not a big crop in South Texas.

@Twelvebit: I guess not! They actually still make tea from these bushes which they sell in the garden souvenir shop.
