5.00We had an incredible day with Tony. He took us to Shichiken Brewery for a sake tasting and a traditional lunch at a very cute restaurant that was part of Shichiken. After we made our way to Suntory where we did a tasting & walked through the museum. We went on a Saturday in July & the traffic was extremely bad getting into and out of Tokyo (took 3 hours both ways vs. what should've been 1.5-2hrs). Tony mentioned that the traffic is usually better on weekdays so definitely book this tour during the week to avoid spending most of the day in the car. Either way, the drive is beautiful & highly recommend Tony as a guide!
