Transportation to the meeting point

Overview

Counted among Japan's top three sake brewing regions, Saijo in Higashihiroshima is a rare sake district with seven sake breweries located around Saijo Station. The flowing water from Mt. Ryuo, after more than 15 years, transforms into water rich in minerals suitable for sake brewing. Handled by skilled sake brewers inheriting traditional techniques, it evolves into Japanese sake. KAMOSU TABI is a wellness tour that invites you to feel a connection with 'nature,' 'local community,' and 'people' through the traditional Japanese art of sake brewing. This journey not only rejuvenates the mind and body but also provides insights for a better tomorrow."
