Short guided sake tasting and brewery visit in Takayama’s historic brewery area. Meeting point: Happy plus tour desk (22 Kamininomachi).
Historic brewery tour & sake tasting
Guided 30-minute visit to a historic sake brewery in Kamiichinomachi. See the kura and production facilities, learn how sake is made, then taste five local sakes with guidance from a knowledgeable local host. English guide provided. Note: participants must be 20+ under Japanese law.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the start time and meet at Happy plus tour desk (22 Kamininomachi, Takayama) to check in — the desk is on the same street as the brewery.
- Bring a valid photo ID (passport recommended); Japanese law prohibits serving alcohol to anyone under 20.
- This is a short, seated tasting (30 minutes). If you want a quiet stroll after, the nearby Sanmachi Suji historic streets are an easy, romantic walk from the brewery.
