Tea Culture in Japan

get an actual hobby, bro
Can you guys shut the fuck up and stop talking about shit you obviously have no clue about?
When I lived in Tokyo, there were tons of little tea shops with people preparing freshly made matcha tea. I've noticed there were even foreigners working there sometimes. Don't listen to the uncultured swine here. Following your dreams OP.
Thanks.
I've heard of schools I can pay into and get trained (like college or something), and become a professional at tea ceremonies. But what I was looking for was like a homestead program or sponsored work that educates me and offers me the possibility of staying there permanently upon completion of the program.
I've been to something just like that when I visited Japan and it was very nice. A great experience. But I really want to learn the ins and outs of growing tea and processing it into the various forms.
There's an apprenticeship program at this farm two younger dudes started, and by proxy revitalized the town it's based in. There are loads of people who're interested in this subculture, too. Check out AkiyaDAO.
If you check their website in the desc. of this video, somewhere on there is an application for an apprenticeship program. Worth a shot. Good luck out there anon, don't listen to the gays who tell you not to go after what you want.

Which YOU will pay them for.
1500 yennies per day, for that you'll get a hostel-style private room and lunch (no breakfast/dinner).
You might want to check out whatever is left of WWOOF Japan to see if they have a tea farm as well, you'll be able to stay longer and have to pay less (and probably speak more Japanese).
That's a bargain, I'd go just for the cheap room and lunch, screw the tea.
OP is looking for a company to sponsor his Hopes and Dreams visa to live and work in Japan and we're here to tell him that this would have been used by millions of Vietnamese already.
Go to Japan, study the Art of Tea and maybe you can open your own tea shop back home.

Not going to happen.
“Tea culture” in Japan has to be the most uptight, ridiculous performative horseshit on the planet. I’m sure you’ll love it.
