Why take this tour?

In this full-day tour by private car, our guides bring you to two celebrated sake breweries for tours and tastings. The first stop is the family-operated Ide Sake Brewery in Kawaguchiko. After the tour and tasting, you'll enjoy the sights on the spectacular shores of Lake Kawaguchi. The next stop is the famous Shichiken Sake Brewery in the picturesque town of Hokuto near Mt Fuji where you'll enjoy a tasting and tour of a 180-year-old brewery that makes one of the best sakes in Yamanashi Prefecture. The tour concludes with a soothing visit to one of Japan's best hot spring bathhouses, Yurari Onsen, where you'll have magnificent views of Mt Fuji from the outdoor tubs. This tour is accessible and fun regardless of your level of experience with sake. It's an excellent choice for your vacation or as a gift to family or friends. Unlike our other tours, there is no bike riding during this tour. Your guides will be native English speakers who also speak and read some Japanese.
