    Excellent tour to learn about Sake
    The Sake Brewery tour was very informative thank you to our knowledgeable guide Yama. It was very interesting to learn about the Sake making process and sample some very nice kinds, Kanpai!

    Excellent day out to know shirakawago better.
    I booked this as I wanted someone to explain to me and my family what we were seeing. Yama met us at the Shirakawago bus terminal and then took us around. I was travelling with 5 seniors, all above 70. Yama was patient and accommodated their pace especially when walking up and down the viewpoint. Having a guide was especially helping when touring the museum as Yama took time to explain what we were seeing. This was my 2md time to Shirakawago and I got so much more this time. The tour ended with lunch when a table was already reserved for us and we could order any set from the menu. Good day out.

    Mui was an amazing guide!
    We visited the oldest Sake Brewery in Takayama with our guide Mui. She was amazing! She explained everything so well. We learned a lot about the brewing process, as well as the history of Takayama. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Mui!

    Wonderful little tour
    A terrific little tour explaining and demonstrating the skill and technique of sake making. The guide, Mu, was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. If I have any complaint, and it is nothing to do with the tour itself, I was concerned about the exorbitant TripAdvisor booking fee, at around 50% of the direct tour cost. This is not fair to customer or tour provider.

    Interesting insight into brewing sake
    We were so fortunate to be the only guests for the tour, so we had the undivided attention of our guide. She was thorough and answered all of our questions with patience.

    Great Experience! Fantastic Guide
    Miyuki (Mu) was a wonderful guide - friendly, informative and really engaging. She made our Takayama Walking Tour a wonderful experience, despite the cold rain that we had on the day! I highly recommend her!

    Terrific introduction to sake
    A great tour to understand the sake brewing process, a little sake history for the area and a tasting with explanation of different types of sake. “Mu” is a terrific guide and she makes you feel as if you are visiting with a friend from Takayama.

    FANTASTIC DAY - Ropeway & Caves
    We had a great tour with Yama! We took the gondola to the top of the mountain and it was a clear perfect day. We had lunch at the restaurant in the gondola station and then went to the limestone caves. Yama was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our group had a wonderful day!

    Delicious and Fun!
    Miyuki(Mu) was amazing! We ended up getting her all to ourselves. She walked us around town explaining the history. Every so often we would stop at a local food stall or shop and we would pay for snacks if we wished to try it. The last part of the trip was the brewery. We were able to see some of the packaging process and Mu took us through the process of how it is made with pictures and small samples. Lastly was the tasting, my favorite was the sweeter plumb sake 😋 Thank you Mu, we had a wonderful time! I would recommend this tour!

We met Yama at the tour agency office and stated our tour. We had already been at Takayama for a few days but Yama introduced us to food that we would not have tried in our own - one example for a chestnut mochi and the soft rice cake. Come with an empty stomach.

I found Yama on Tripadvisor and booked the food tour for 15 pax. We were a big group with age range from 8-77. Yama-san took good care of us! We enjoyed beef sushi, assorted buns, rice sticks, apples and sake!
He adjusted to our pace and gave good suggestions.

Highly recommended when in Takayama!

My family & I enjoyed the local food recommended by Yama-san especially Hida Beef Skewers. Yama-san also explained to us the history along Takayama streets as we passed. Highly recommended private tour with reasonable price but excellent service.
