Nikka Whiskey Hall

For lovers of Japanese Whisky a must visit. Skip the free tasting head straight to the museum as the paid tasting bar is there. I suggest heading straight to the shop after as they have quite a few Distillery only bottles on offer, these are not sold outside and if it is I’m sure you will pay a high price compare to here. Also learn a lot in the museum about their history and the story of the creator of Nikka Whisky. Lots of grounds to cover inside from entrance to the shop.

Excellent, short walk from the train station, nice museum and good to see how they are still distilling the traditional way. Excellent store with some distillery only products that are pretty much impossible to get anywhere. Bit out of the way but well worth the trip.

Fantastic venue in the little village of Yoichi, well worth a detour! The distillery is free to tour, and you can even sample three different whiskies for free. Well stocked whisky shop, and licensed bar (not free but great drams on offer)
