Tour of breweries in a place associated with warlord Yukimura Sanada

On the tour, you can enjoy strolling around the historic streets of Yanagi-machi and visit sake breweries.
At Okazaki Shuzo and Wakabayashi Jozo breweries, female head brewers, two of only 25 in Japan, will show you around.
At each of the three breweries, you can taste sake, including a special brewer's sake that is not generally available.
In addition, the tour may include fruit-picking at Higashiyama Tourist Farm. (In this case, there will be no visit to Wada Shuzo Brewery, and the journey times will be different.)
※It is possible to be conducted around Ueda Castle by Shinshu Ueda Hospitality Warrior Troop.
