5.00This was a truly unique tour –Minako took us to her home city, which is charming and beautiful, as well as a fascinating Buddhist temple out in the woods. It was exquisite! We also had a fabulous tour in a sake brewery nestled in a teeny town – this brewery has won numerous international awards and has been in this family for generations – the son of the family personally gave us a tour. I learned so much about sake and gained a new appreciation for the beverage. It was a wonderful, different, very personal tour – I would definitely recommend! In addition, Minako was just lovely!
