Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture is on the central eastern coast facing the Pacific Ocean. The name Shizuoka translates as "Tranquil Hills." The area provides a pristine cultivating area for tea because of its adequate rainfall and thick fog. Tea has been produced in this region for more than 800 years.
