【酒蔵試飲ツアー】約10種類以上の日本酒が試飲可！有名銘柄多数日本酒の名産地・灘の酒蔵を巡る3時間プラン＜午後発／日本語（英語）ガイド／日本酒／灘＞

杜氏さんとお話できて最高でした❗️

Reviewed by: いさお, 2024/08/12

外人さんが大勢参加されると覚悟して集合場所に行きましたが、なんとガイドさんが一人佇んでいました。娘と二人で参加したのですが、我々の専属ガイドをしてもらえました。ラッキー! とても素敵で知識も豊富なAKIさん、大変暑い日でしたが、冷たいお茶にクールネックまで用意してくださり、とてもありがたかったです。
酒蔵は大手から小規模なところまで六ヶ所も見学して、試飲では有料試飲がいくつもツアーに入っていてお得感がありました。人数が少なかったこともあり、菊正宗では杜氏の方とゆっくりお話出来て良かったです。日本酒好きの娘も大満足でした。

京都での短い滞在期間で、日本を味わえるものを探しました。
海外からのゲストは、海外のゲストばかりのツアーは好みません
日本のお客様が楽しめるツアーを好みます。

川床は涼しくはなかったですが、とても素敵なロケーションで
舞妓さんの鑑賞もでき、とても価値のある体験ができ嬉しかったです。

Sake Tasting at Local Breweries in Kobe

Fantastic sake tour!

Reviewed by: ARH, 2023/11/14

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I've lived in Japan for over four years and had been on quite a few sake tours, but this one was the best by far. Super easy and comfortable provided you have decent walking shoes. The tour itself had ample opportunities to taste and buy along the way. We also had a surprise stop at an excellent tofu house with probably the best veggie croquette I've had in Japan.

Our main guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, explaining everything in a way that everyone could understand. Additional staff also helped out as our group was slightly larger.

Overall, a wonderful experience and surely everyone with an open mind and palette will have a great time.

Highly recommended.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you for joining us at Kampaisaketours.
We sincerely appreciate that ARH enjoyed the tour.

We are also pleased to hear that you enjoyed this tour, which requires comfortable walking shoes!

Eating and drinking sake and tofu, interacting with the locals, ,
We will continue to organize good tours to let people know about Japanese culture and the beauty of the local area.

We will take care of as many people as possible and be the ONLY ONE for as many people as possible.

Let's kampai again in Japan!

鮎の美味しさにびっくり

Reviewed by: おかちか, 2023/09/10

美しい緑、川のせせらぎ、虫の声、静かな笛の音、素晴らしい場所でした。
お店の方が、鮎の塩焼きを、どうぞ頭から召し上がって下さいと言われました。頭からとは、と半信半疑でした。
食べてびっくり、全く骨を感じず、パリパリと香ばしく身はふっくら、お店の方に感想をお話すると、頭から食べられるのは、鮎の大きさと、炭火でじっくり焼いているからです。と教えてくださり、納得でした。今までで、一番美味しかった鮎の塩焼きでした。食後は、友人たちとおしゃべりしながら、散策。冷たい川の水に足を浸したり。楽しく、美味しい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!

京都高雄もみぢ家　川床ディナープラン納涼川床料理＋舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり（2024/7/1～2024/9/22）＜川床席確約／送迎あり／高雄＞

お料理、川床、舞妓さん全て最高でした！

Reviewed by: 国内旅行初心者, 2023/08/12

海外からの親戚が来日。初めての京都ということで、何か特別な思い出になれば、と申し込みました。同行する私と子供は５ヶ月前に京都旅行をしたばかり。。私たちにとっても普通の京都旅行では経験しないことを、と思い、夏ということもあり、川床の夕食にしました。夏に京都に行くなら川床にいきたい、と常々おもっていました。舞妓さんにも会える日程ということで、親戚にはどんな夕食か詳しく説明せず、サプライズにしました。
選んだすき焼きはボリュームたっぷり。お肉も柔らかく美味しい。川床も涼しく、虫の声が涼しげ。川面に写る提灯も情緒たっぷり。そして可愛らしい舞妓さんがにこやかに応対してくれ、写真もたくさんとらせていただきました。スタッフのかたも写真を撮ってくれたり、お茶などのおかわりも、すぐ快く対応してくれました。バスの運転手さんもとても愛想のいいかたでした。外国人の親戚にも、子供にも大好評で、大正解でした。舞妓さんの踊りを間近で見ることができ、素敵な思い出になりました。またぜひ行きたいです！

初の川床

Reviewed by: GGタツロウ, 2023/08/06

連日35度越えの猛暑の中どうなんだろう。
そんな心配をよそに川床は、風が抜けて非常に涼しく過ごさせていただきました。　
川魚は苦手ですが稚鮎の塩焼きは頭から食べました。皮目が美味く骨も気にならず美味しくいただきました。川の音を聞きながらビールをゴクリ。
昼から日本の夏ですね。
往路は送迎を利用しました。復路は230円の市バスを利用(時間かかりますけど)。市内と高雄までの距離感がわからずバスが便利なことが判らず残念。どこかに記述いただけたら嬉しかったです。
鳥獣戯画も見学して(お一人様1000円ですけど)

ちょうど運悪く、台風が近づいてきた時の参加となってしまいました。
送迎バスの集合時間に少し遅れてしまったのですが、連絡を入れた際とても優しく対応下さり、ちゃんとお待ち頂き助かりました。
幸いなことにそこまで強くはなく小雨でしたので、半屋内のテーブルで川側を向いてのお食事でした。
私は竹コースでしたが、写真を見た時は足りるかな？ランチだしこんなものかな？と思っていたのですが、意外にしっかり量もあり美味しかったです！
今度は晴れた日に参加してみたいです。

夏らしい京都を感じたくネットで調べていたら、このサイトを見つけました。
京都市街地から約30分位かかりますがバス送迎あり、単独では行きづらいくらい山手の道も良くない場所なので楽でした。
また、川を目の前にした料理、舞妓さんとの会話、舞妓さんの踊りと予想以上に楽しめて本当に夏らしい京都を満喫して出来ました。

Saijo Sake Brewery English-Guided Walking Tour with Lunch in Hiroshima

Relaxed friendly tour in pretty Saijo town.

Reviewed by: Suzie, 2020/04/04

Hugh our guide was a really nice friendly guy, we got on really well and he was very informative. Unfortunately we were there in the middle of the Covid 19 virus, so many of the breweries were closed, but we did get some tasting done at 3 breweries. The lunch was amazing, some of the best Sashimi we have ever had and the Hotpot was fabulous!
We still had a very nice time and hope more travellers will take this tour when times are back to normal.

Best Sashimi ever!

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion

Great experience, great price

Reviewed by: Stephanie, 2019/08/17

This was a great activity. The food and beer was delicious and filling and the entertainment was fantastic. We were able to talk with our Maiko for a few minutes and take a picture with her after her performance. We did not speak very much Japanese (only the very basics), but that did not diminish our experience. We had a great time, and it was nice we didn't have to spend a ton of money on one dinner like some other activities that are available with maiko. I would definitely recommend this if you'd like to meet a maiko and see her perform.

Traditional Japanese Washoku Cooking Lesson with Seasonal Dishes near Ebisu

Fantastic cooking/learning/dining experience!

Reviewed by: Juliann, 2019/05/18

We had a wonderful time learning to make basic dashi, chirashi, and then using our dashi to make chikuzenni (simmered vegetables). Dishes made in this class may vary by season. The instructor was patient with excellent English and no experience or knowledge other than basic knife handling (vegetable chopping & peeling) is required. It was a great experience to be able to cook in an actual restaurant kitchen. After the food we made was ready, our dishes were supplemented with other items made by the restaurant staff and sake sampling flight. We finished by learning the proper etiquette for chopstick handling and opening and closing formal Kaiseki bento before eating the fruits (vegetables) of our labors.

100% would do this again, and even though we did have some experience with Japanese cooking we were able to improve our skills greatly. 10/10 all around!

My family and I really enjoyed this class! Everyone was so friendly and kind. Everyone spoke a mix of Japanese and English.

Keiko is a great teacher, and we all felt like we'd be able to make Okonomiyaki by ourselves after this class.

Such an amazing cultural experience. I went with my family...2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 children (9yo, 11yo). We let the children do the "work" for udon making, and Wakana was so patient! She speaks English clearly, and easily understandable. The steps were easy to do for the children. While we were waiting for the udon, Wakana showed us how to make different origami. After, we got to enjoy the delicious udon! We are excited to make udon at home!

Glutenfree Japanese curry

We loved our first workshop with him so much last year, that we had to come back for a second time. This time we made a glutenfree Japanese curry. Sato-san adjusted the recipe for us and made a delicious curry that we could enjoy. We will definitely make this curry at home. Sato-san is a wonderful person which makes the workshop even more enjoyable. It was a real challenge for him to make a glutenfree curry for us. Luckily, he accepted the challenge and made a wonderful Japanese curry recipe. We would definitely recommend this cooking workshop to everyone that likes Japanese cuisine.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1～9/30)

Lovely location, outstanding service, mesmerizing Maiko dancers

Reviewed by: jewon310, 2018/09/18

We missed the shuttle bus so taking a taxi was our only option. The Hotel Monterey Kyoto front desk was so kind and willing; she called the cab and informed the taxi driver where to drop us off which saved us a lot of time. The shuttle from the restaurant came out and met us about a mile away as the roads get narrow and difficult to find for drivers unfamiliar with that area. The cab fare came out to be about $35-40 from the Hotel (which was less than what I expected). I highly recommend catching the shuttle service on time (be there early as they will leave exactly on time!)-- not only it's more comfortable having someone drive you to the restaurant, but it will save you time and money.

The restaurant is located in a very secluded and quiet area, completely surrounded by nature. They will greet and walk you to your designated table. The guiding lights in the complete dark woods make the ambience more beautiful. All meals will come out in your eating pace... which is important because I eat pretty slow and sometimes course meals rush you to hurry up and eat. I wasn't sure how to eat fish properly (whether I was supposed to eat the whole entire fish or leave the head or tail), so the older lady came over and removed all the bones for me. Service was fantastic.

There were two Maikos that night-- both Maikos came around, very willing to take pictures and answer questions/ conversate with you. When they start their dancing, I couldn't help but to stare in awe. They look like walking dolls. They also had goodies before the show (i.e a fan, canvas bag, etc). It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour. I want to do this again if I travel back to Kyoto in near future.
