summary

Ichiro's Malt, a very popular Japanese whiskey from overseas, was born from the precious nature of the Chichibu region. This time, the ``Chichibu Regional Hospitality and Tourism Corporation'' created this valuable local resource as the main content that conveys the reverence for nature and the essence of whisky, and as a high value-added travel product. We will use this tour to help attract more tourists to the Chichibu area as we aim for a full-fledged recovery in inbound demand.
I'd love to! Enjoy a special experience!
