Schedule
Meet at Shinjuku Station West Gate *Detailed information will be provided.
Enjoy 90 minutes drive from Shinjuku to Isehara. The bus will stop at a rest area for 15~20 minutes.
It takes about 15 minutes to reach the cable car station from the parking lot by climbing 362 steps. Take the cable car at 10:40 or 11:00. Please enjoy the souvenir shops along the way.
It is worshiped as the ancestral deity of sake brewers. He is said to be the father of Konohana Sakuya-hime, the enshrined deity of Mt. Fuji, as well as a god who mediates bonds.
From the precincts at an altitude of 696m, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Kanto Plain and Sagami Bay. Please take a look at the "View from Oyama Afuri Shrine," which was awarded two stars in the "Michelin Green Guide Japan."
At the terrace seats of the café Saryo Sekison, you can enjoy a relaxing tea time while gazing at the 2-Michelin-starred scenery. Also, "Afuri Beer" is a limited item that can only drink at this cafe! The beer is not sold as souvenirs, so please enjoy it here.
Mineral-rich water from the Tanzawa water system gushes out from the basement of the lower worship hall of Oyama Afuri Shrine, and visitors can take it home with them as a sacred spring for longevity. Empty plastic bottles are sold at the shrine, but you can put them in your own container.
Please board the cable car before 12:20.
Enjoy tofu set menu lunch which is made with delicious water from the Tanzawa water system. It is possible to change to a boar hotpot set as an option.
After lunch, you will visit Kikkawa Jozo, a sake brewery in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Two types of "Afuri" which won platinum at the French sake competition Kura Master, are must-try for any sake lover.
Kikkawa Jozo is the local brewery which provides the competition-winning sake "Afuri." If you listen to the detailed work process as if you were designing architecture, you can feel the taste of sake even more deeply.
You can taste 15 kinds of sake carefully selected by the chief brewer. You'll be amazed at how unique the flavor is, even though it's made from the same water and by the same master brewer. Of course, you can also enjoy the platinum-winning ones. You can also buy your favorite sake as a souvenir.
Kura Master is a sake contest held in France since 2017. The judges are mainly French people from Europe, including MOF holders who certify the qualification of the best craftsmen by the French state. It is the highest honor to be evaluated in France, which has produced many world-famous wines.
