Reservations can be made for July (7/1-7/31) from 9:30 on Monday, May 20th. If you want to go over the summer holidays, plan your reservation well in advance! On the day reservations start, it's really hard to get through on the phone, but it's a bit of a wait, but it's best to make reservations online. Reservations are required for the shop only and for whiskey tasting. ☑︎Checkpoints ・The guided tour of the world-famous Suntory Natural Water (Minami Alps) that we participated in this time took about 60 minutes including the tour and tasting. ・And what's more, after that, you can freely tour the whiskey distillery area 👏🏻There were quite a lot of photogenic places, and even my daughter and I, who know nothing about whiskey, had fun! ・You can taste the precious Hakushu whiskey (paid). ・Driver ・People under 20 years old are not allowed to drink alcohol. ☑︎About souvenirs Whisky is extremely popular these days, so it may be out of stock. On the day we went, only one bottle per person per day over the age of 20 was available for purchase. I was able to buy 700ml Hakushu and 180ml Hakushu Distillery exclusive 💸 My husband 🤑 There were also distillery exclusive T-shirts, coasters, snacks, glasses, etc., so it was really stylish ♫ The souvenir corner was packed with people of all ages and genders! ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ ☑︎About bringing children ・The free course we went to this time was OK for children! There were a lot of families with children, but I think the general rule is to watch as quietly as possible, so let's keep that in mind when we went. They also give you straws when you try the water. Children are allowed in the whiskey tasting corner, but we didn't want to disturb Dad's blissful moment, so my daughter and I found a Suntory vending machine in the stylish rest area next to the souvenir shop, bought some juice, and took a rest while we waited☺️. There are free lockers (you can leave your heavy luggage there before going on the tour♪). Multipurpose toilets/diaper changing stations available.‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ #Hakushu #Hakushu Distillery #Yamanashi Tourism #Factory Tour #Whiskey #Me and Travel
