Takayama: Authentic Sake Tasting at a Historic Brewery

4.8 · 71 Reviews

Excellent Quality

Overview

Takayama has a long sake-brewing history. More than 300 years ago, the town had 56 sake breweries, supported by its cold climate, pure mountain water, and craftsmanship. Today, seven breweries remain in the old town area, all within about 200 meters. This rare concentration offers a unique chance to experience Takayama’s sake culture in a short time. On this tour, you will visit one historic brewery and learn about sake-making, local traditions, and the characteristics of Takayama sake. The tour will be held at either Hirase Sake Brewery or Funasaka Sake Brewery, depending on opening hours, business conditions, and production schedules. Some production areas may not be accessible for hygiene and safety reasons. The tour will end at the brewery visited. Tours are conducted in English or Japanese. Alcohol cannot be served to anyone under 20 under Japanese law. This tour generally operates rain or snow, but may be canceled or adjusted if safe operation is difficult.
