Tourist Guide

Look how fancy is their tasting room. I wouldn't mind spending all day drinking whisky. I couldn't agree more they're the best single malt of 2014. Cheers!
Definitely worth a visit located just near in Kyoto. It won't cost a thing to have this tour, in fact it's free! This is a guided tour and the finale was the most fun, right on their tasting room! After reading the news of their prestigious award, then the more reason to include this place on my itinerary.
Their oldest vintage barrel. 1920's whisky.

8.8/10 Excellent! (3,787 reviews)
Everything was pretty self served. One downside every night usually there is a bit of a line up at the lobby to take the elevator back to the room. Also if you needed any type of luggage service in the morning better go early or else there is also a big lineup to get helped.
