My wife and I recently spent a magical afternoon at the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, and it was hands down the cherry on top of our trip to Japan. Even if you're not hardcore whisky enthusiasts, this visit is an absolute must-do. The Asahi Museum of Art was an unexpected delight for any art lovers. It’s more than just a distillery; it’s a tranquil, beautiful slice of Japanese history and craftsmanship. The tour included
We had an absolutely amazing time! Our tour guide, Woohee was insanely friendly and made great conversation the entire trip, while also teaching us plenty of things. We had more than enough time to enjoy everywhere we looked at and also got a Yamazaki gift bag. The group size was also perfect. Definitely one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had!
It was great and our guide Yuri was amazing!! Super experience.
Fuji-san is a great tour guide. Loved the entire experience thoroughly.
Overall it was great experience. we went to the Oyamazaki Villa + Whisky Tasting. The walk was scenic and we had a great afternoon. However, the tour title is misleading "Suntory Yamazaki Distillery Tour", but you don't get the chance to get inside the distillery, which made it quite disappointing. Other than this, it was a good experience. Nonetheless, i'd still wish to get to the distiller to see how the whiskey making process. So it's a pity that we wasted the opportunity being there but wasn't able to see it
