Japan is experiencing social issues such as an aging, shrinking population and weakening agricultural industry. Many seniors in Kasahara are coping by entrusting their farmland to younger generations. The owner of Sky Tea House, Mr. Sakamoto after been all over the world for many years and came back, started learning how to farm tea with the guidance of his elders. It’s a dirty job, but the labor comes with rewards of harvests and stronger ties to the region. Little by little, Mr. Sakamoto is helping to preserve the history and culture of Kasahara.
It is his hope that people will visit Sky Tea House and enjoy the nature that grows around this village.
you can purchase his Tea, price range is 1000 to 1500 jpy for Sencha(mainly organic), and Houjicha, cooking Match(those are same price), shipping cost isn't included, please contact us!
(He presented his tea to the person who he respects and admire the most, Jose Mujica the ex-president of Urguay)

political participation
Eight years after moving to Yame, Jiro Sakamoto, the representative of Sky Tea House, ran for the Yame City Council election with the sole intention of “improving Yame” and “creating an atmosphere where young people can participate in politics.
