Reviews
We had an AMAZING TIME!!! Our tour guide was PHENOMENAL and so sweet. Forgive me, I cant remember her name. She was full of knowledge, and spoke perfect English! She went out of her way to make sure we understood everything. We went to 4 breweries tried some great flavors and had an opportunity to meet the legendary brew master with over 70+ years experience and is 88 years old, still working!! I highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful time touring around the Kobe sake brewing area with Yuko. She taught us a lot of the area, of sake production and of Japanese culture surrounding sake. She allowed us do dictate the pace an ended th tour at a wonderful small local standing bar for refreshments and snacks
Thank you very much Yuko for leading us today. We had a very fruitful, fulfilling and enjoyable day. We also drank many great sakes. I highly recommend this trip.
Great experience! Informative and friendly guide. The sake tasting was great too. We went to three sake/museum places. The pace was alright and the guide look after us well. Mr Kiyono and his team always check in with us and ensure we are alright/understanding their explanation. Highly recommended for tourists who love sake/wanna learn more about sake.
The tour guide was very attentive, kind, and provided clear explanations.
We were very excited to go on this walking tour when we booked it, however the package is a little deceiving. Our guide’s name from the confirmation email was not the same as the one we met at the station, and although he was very kind and friendly, did not speak a lot of English. The tour seemed to be very rushed through the faculties, and felt like we spent more time in the gift shop than actually learning about the breweries. We hoped the guide would have been informative, however most of the breweries all had English supported guides that explained everything, but did not have the time to truly read through them all. Each of the breweries are wonderful experience and the tasting portions were delightful, but did not feel like we got what we were hoping for from this experience for the price point.
