I was born here and have lived here for a long time, and personally I have been a tour guide for 5 years. I will introduce not only the history and culture of this area, but also the fact that seven sake breweries are densely packed in this area and the exotic our life. I love sake. I am happy to be born in this area because I can drink a lot of delicious sake every day. haha. . . ! In this Takayama City, thanks to the temperature difference in summer and the good water flowing out of the Northern Alps, very good rice can be obtained and delicious sake can be obtained by using it. Even if there are 7 sake breweries within 200m and each brewery has the same ingredients, there are different tastes. I would like to introduce such a special thing in Takayama city. I'm looking forward to meet you soon !! ・Rafting guide(RAJ) ・Shower Climbing guide(RAC) ・I guided more than 3000 people within this 5year(2019-2023). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Takayama is famous as one of the greatest sake-producing locations in Japan where full-scale production began around the 17th century and there are some reasons why sake in Takayama is so tasty. First, it's because of its special climate, surrounded by 3, 000-meter high Japanese Alps mountains where it snows a lot in winter and it can get very cold what is essential for sake production. Also, it is because of the clear and pure infiltrated water coming from the Northern Alps and the third reason is the rice "Hida-Homare". This type of rice is well known for its sweetness, spiciness, sourness, astringency and bitterness but all of these ingredients are in a very good balance. Some breweries, besides sake, have developed many kinds of and local sake cheesecake bar and local sake jelly have a unique aroma and taste. Are you curious to experience more about sake and Japanese culture? I am sure you will enjoy this new experience, please join me.
Great Sake Brewery tour with Yoichiro This was an hour well spent in Takayama. Yoichiro is enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable. The behind the scenes tour of the brewery is interesting, even if it's not in operation (which it wasn't). And the sake tasting provides great understanding of the different types and flavors. Highly recommend this tour with Yoichiro.
Thank you Yoichiro san! We loved the tour and had a great time. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. The tour was super interesting and the sake we tasted was delicious! Recommended!
Yoichiro was very knowledgeable and friendly. Only wish we were able to see more day to day processes, but brewing is done different time of year. But seeing the facilities and Yoichiro's descriptions were very good!
We had a very nice sake tour/tasting with Yama! He took us through the oldest sake brewery in Takayama and explained each step clearly (had a great photo display that showed each step of the process). The plant was empty of workers, but that made it easy for him to take us into all the various sections of the brewery. His English is good, he was patient addressing our questions (including qs not related to sake brewing). Highly recommend the tour if you like sake and want to understand how it is made.
