This hidden gem became one of the highlights of my trip
Far from the usual tourist trail, this is the kind of place I’d never have found on my own, yet it offers such an authentic and memorable experience that it’s hard to believe it’s still such a hidden gem.
Even if you’re not a big sake drinker, you’ll love strolling along the beautiful Tama River, dipping your feet into its cool, clear waters, and discovering a side of Tokyo that few visitors ever get to see—lush, peaceful, and completely different from the city’s bustling center.
Simon is such a lovely person. This wasn’t my first tour with him, and it definitely won’t be my last!

Sake surrounded by beautiful nature.
Simon was awesome, we felt like we were traveling with a friend more then a guide. Great sake and location and so nice to get away from the crowds and sit by the beautiful river enjoying the view and sake. Highly recommend this tour.
