Take a taxi to the town of Sake Nada.
Nada Gogo in southeastern Hyogo Prefecture is the region with the highest sake production in Japan. The area is known for being blessed with the rice and water essential for sake brewing, as well as skilled craftsmen. The sake produced at the many sake breweries here is generally known as "Nada sake." Sake brewing began in Nada Gogo in the 14th century, but it wasn't until the 17th century that sake breweries were established one after another and sake brewing got into full swing. The reason for this was that the area faces Osaka Bay, which allowed for easy shipping, and it was easy to ship to Osaka and Edo (present-day Tokyo), which were major sake consuming areas. Furthermore, it became easy to obtain high-quality sake rice, which is the raw material for sake, and it became possible to polish large quantities of rice using waterwheels, creating the perfect conditions for producing high-quality sake.
After the tour, you will be dropped off at your hotel (in Kobe City). If you have other plans, please consult with your guide. We can also disband the tour in the surrounding area.
