      Highly recommend !
      We visited Takayama because we heard that it's so relaxing and different from Tokyo. But yes it was true ! also attending this tour was a great idea. We could try many types of Japanese food and really enjoyed Takayama a lot!

      Excellent tour to learn about Sake
      The Sake Brewery tour was very informative thank you to our knowledgeable guide Yama. It was very interesting to learn about the Sake making process and sample some very nice kinds, Kanpai!

      Come with an empty stomach
      We met Yama at the tour agency office and stated our tour. We had already been at Takayama for a few days but Yama introduced us to food that we would not have tried in our own - one example for a chestnut mochi and the soft rice cake. Come with an empty stomach.

      Excellent day out to know shirakawago better.
      I booked this as I wanted someone to explain to me and my family what we were seeing. Yama met us at the Shirakawago bus terminal and then took us around. I was travelling with 5 seniors, all above 70. Yama was patient and accommodated their pace especially when walking up and down the viewpoint. Having a guide was especially helping when touring the museum as Yama took time to explain what we were seeing. This was my 2md time to Shirakawago and I got so much more this time. The tour ended with lunch when a table was already reserved for us and we could order any set from the menu. Good day out.

      Mui was an amazing guide!
      We visited the oldest Sake Brewery in Takayama with our guide Mui. She was amazing! She explained everything so well. We learned a lot about the brewing process, as well as the history of Takayama. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Mui!

      Worth your while
      We had a great time on the foodtour with Yama. Learned a lot, tasted different things and made rice cookies. We can recommend Yama's foodtour.

      Wonderful little tour
      A terrific little tour explaining and demonstrating the skill and technique of sake making. The guide, Mu, was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. If I have any complaint, and it is nothing to do with the tour itself, I was concerned about the exorbitant TripAdvisor booking fee, at around 50% of the direct tour cost. This is not fair to customer or tour provider.

      Interesting insight into brewing sake
      We were so fortunate to be the only guests for the tour, so we had the undivided attention of our guide. She was thorough and answered all of our questions with patience.

      Terrific introduction to sake
      A great tour to understand the sake brewing process, a little sake history for the area and a tasting with explanation of different types of sake. “Mu” is a terrific guide and she makes you feel as if you are visiting with a friend from Takayama.

    This tour of old Town Takayama took place after dark so many of the shops had closed. Nevertheless our guide went out of his way to explain the long history and culture of this very old area. He was very knowledgeable.

    I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide was Miyuki (Mu) and she was super fun and kind! She walked us through the main spots in Takayama, where she explained the history of the city and its traditions. She even gave us advice where to eat local ramen and it was AMAZING. I definitely reccomend it! Thank you very much Mu!
