Activity
A local guide will accompany you!
Meet your guide at Koga Station and head together to the hotel, making it easy to get to and from the hotel, especially for those new to Koga.
Gokeiji Bar is renowned even in the world of traditional Japanese high-end restaurants in Tokyo
The brewers of Aoki Sake Brewery will personally introduce you to five types of locally crafted sake, sharing their insights and stories. In a private room overlooking a beautiful Japanese garden, enjoy the perfect pairing with traditional Japanese cuisine to your heart's content.
Tasting Gokeiji: An Award-Winning Local Sake
Enjoy this highly acclaimed sake, which has received high praise both domestically and internationally. It won the top prize in the Junmai Ginjo Sake category at the world's largest wine competition, IWC 2016, and the JAL Special Award at the Sake Competition.

You'll learn the technique of cooling and separating the highly polished rice grains to create that day's Gokeiji sake.
