Discover Kobe on a tour that blends history, culture, and flavour—with a delicious twist! Your adventure begins in Nada, one of Japan's premier sake regions, where you'll sample top-quality sake and observe traditional barrel-making by skilled artisans. At Kiku-Masamune Brewery, you'll view impressive brewing equipment, try sake-kasu ice cream, and receive a special sake cup as a memento.

The tour continues to Ikuta Shrine, one of Japan's oldest, where your guide will share stories that illuminate Kobe's origins. The highlight of the tour is a reserved counter seat at a teppanyaki restaurant, where you'll witness the preparation of Kobe beef, grilled right before your eyes—a treat for all the senses.

This tour showcases the deep connection between Kobe's natural resources and its culinary excellence. The pure water from Rokko mountain contributes to the outstanding sake, while the region's wagyu is renowned for its fine marbling and aroma. Suitable for food enthusiasts, sake aficionados, or curious travellers, this tour welcomes all, including families. You'll leave with a full stomach and a newfound appreciation for Kobe's culture.
