“I am currently traveling the world by ship CELEBRITY MILLENNIUM, and this tour has become one of the most memorable pages of my journey. Even though I gained a deep understanding of the sake brewing process and sake knowledge, the experience was never boring. Our guide, Hiro, with her warmth and great sense of humor, made the tour truly enjoyable. It was clear that she and her team are loved by the brewery staff — they even prepared a private tasting space just for our group! We also had the rare opportunity to speak directly with a master brewer, which made the experience even more special. A heartfelt thank you…”

“Not fun and not really as described. Admit the Sake Brewery museum was interesting. We thought tour would be more like a food tour only with sake stops instead of food stops. Turned out our guide doesn’t even like sake. So that lack of enthusiasm on guide’s part surely contributed to the blah experience.”

Kaido, my guide, was very friendly & knowledgeable. We went to see the Herb Garden & took the Ropeway round trip. We then went to the Ikuta Shrine, the oldest shrine in Japan. It was quite accessible & they have put a lot of thought into making it as accessible as possible while maintaining the original design of the shrine. If you’re looking for an accessible, reasonably priced tour in Kobe, this is the tour for you!”
