Tea Stand Yamate (Tea Factory Gen)

Very beautiful teahouse with a fantastic view of Onomichi. You can try speciality tea grown in Hiroshima, which is very hard to find anywhere else (even in Hiroshima City). I had the Hiroshima Zairai Seicha, which was exquisite. A must-visit for tea enthusiasts.

A lovely little tea stand with a great selection of high-quality teas. What’s really nice is that you can add hot water up to three times, so you can truly enjoy and savor the flavors. They also sell their teas to take home, which is perfect if you find one you love. The shop was quiet and empty when I visited, so I had the whole space to myself—a peaceful and relaxing experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys slow, mindful tea drinking. PS the owner was super nice and made small talk while I was there.

We've been there on a late afternoon and enjoyed amazing tea. The atmosphere of this house is so beautiful! We would come back everytime!!

Lovely place and lovely experience, since the entrance the lady attends with exquisite style and recommends very carefully from a menu of several teas including delicate handpicked white tea and local green varieties (very recommendable the Hamacha locally sun dried with a slightly salty touch); you can take a seat at the ground floor (a nice setting with some morning sun running through the shadows) or upstairs (a more traditional style) where the views of the bay and the mountain are a perfect match for the experience. I consider it a perfect spot for taking a time during your visit to the area.

It’s so good having green tea here. It likes to have in a Zen temple. If you wanna reflesh in this heat, this place brings you to a Nehan.

Absolutely delicious Teas. I tried the cold teas of the season; they were brewed masterfully. They take the time to explain in english as well, and they do a great job at it. Highly recommend going there at Sunset. you get a peaceful and authentic Japanese teahouse experience. Thank you!

We went there around one hour before closing time on a sunday & were so lucky as to have the place almost to ourselves. This tea store really is a gem. It seems to have been there for a long time but it was refurbished a while ago. There are two floors, the Upper one is a tatami room with a beautiful view on the seaside of Onomichi. We ordered 5 different hot and cold teas all of which tasted delicious. The lady who served us was friendly, explained the different tea varieties & showed us how to prepare them. Go there if you're looking for a delicous cup of green tea or a couple, a well thought-through interior design that combines modern, original elements without loosing the antique charm of the place & a very calming atmosphere.

Great place to visit. My friends and I ordered the cold tea. It came with a hojicha tea and oolong. It was perfectly made. Great flavor. The tea room upstairs has a great view
