Tea Plantations Spread on the Mountains of Kunigami
At the northernmost point of Kunigami Village, even further past Hedo Point, is where Oku is located. The cambered tea plantations located here are well renowned for their quality. Harvesting comes earliest in Japan - mid-March - and hundreds of tourists visit every year, drawn by the irresistible fragrance. Oku's tea is indeed its specialty good, favored by locals as well.
