Mt. Fuji
Japan(The site is 100 kilometers from Mt. Fuji and 20 km from Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo.)

It is said that those who drink Japanese tea sufficiently live long.

A well-known town in Japan for a large number of long-living people is a notable tea producing town.

Today, I was offered a cup of sample high-quality Japanese tea for free in a station mall. Yet, how did I look to a middle-aged female salesclerk, maybe a kind of homeless...
