A Sacred Journey Through 1,500 Years of Heritage Savor History: Private Tasting at a Brewery Founded in 1717
The Experience
Munakata Taisha Shrine As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Munakata Taisha is one of Japan's oldest and most significant spiritual landmarks. For over 1,500 years, it has stood as the guardian of seafarers and travelers. The shrine's serene atmosphere, surrounded by ancient forests, offers visitors a deep sense of peace and a glimpse into Japan’s primitive Shinto traditions. It is a must-visit for those seeking spiritual clarity and historical depth.
Izu Honten Sake Brewery Step into history at Izu Honten, a legendary brewery founded in 1717. This historic establishment has preserved its traditional sake-making techniques for over 10 generations. Housed in an atmospheric building that dates back centuries, the brewery produces premium sake using pure local water and high-quality rice. During the visit, you can taste the "spirit" of Munakata and explore the exquisite craftsmanship that has made Japanese sake world-famous.
We also offer an exclusive add-on package! You can enjoy a premium sushi lunch at a highly-rated restaurant with a stunning ocean view of the Genkai Sea. The price is only 5,000 JPY per person. It’s a perfect way to savor fresh local flavors while enjoying the scenery
