Sake Brewery Tours〜Exclusive Authentic Japanese Travel Experience

日本酒を楽しみ、日本を楽しむ素晴らしいツアーです。

次の新潟ツアー、残り３名ということですがご紹介します。

Most of our tours have to be run during the brewing season which is winter. Because of this we can’t run all of our tours every year so we run tours every other year and often alternate the locations that we visit.

We will be heading back to Niigata in 2018

There are only 3 places left on this tour for FEB 2018 – it is filling fast – contact us today to reserve your place!
