Details:
One of Japan's most famous breweries First, we are going to go to a Sake brewery named Hamafukuturu in Nada which is Japan's most famous Sake area. Nada is located in eastern Kobe and it is known to most Japanese people because Sake in that area is very delicious. We can watch Sake being made and enjoy a little Sake for free. Enjoy the true taste of Japan!
Visit a historical shrine
Second, we are going to visit an ancient Shinto shrine called Uozaki Yahata Shrine, which is quite near the brewery. It is said that the shrine has been there since the 9th century. Participants will have the opportunity to pray and get a fortune slip. You will learn the difference between shrines and temples and a little about the traditional Japanese religion.
Enjoying lunch
Finally, we are going to have lunch. We have two ways to have lunch. If it is sunny, we plan to buy the food at a convienience store and eat it in a small but beautiful park. If it is rainy, we will go to a restaurant instead. (Neither will cost more than 1000 yen)
