Visitors can experience the charm of Okukuji tea at the Okukuji Tea Village Park. There are tea rooms and stores in the park, where you can enjoy the experience of making tea and choosing souvenirs.
One of the most popular activities in the park is hand-moiling tea, a process that takes more than three hours and is the very spirit of Daigo's tea production.
