[2025 Oyamazaki Attraction] Travel Guide for Suntory Yamazaki Distillery (Updated May)

#JapanAttractions #Yamazaki If you like whiskey, have you ever thought about visiting the original master? Yamazaki Distillery is the best distillery I have ever been to! Because its introduction is the most serious, and as a whiskey lover, I generally like Yamazaki's whiskey. I like both Yamazaki and Hibiki very much, because they go well with basically any food. It turns out that the most important thing in making wine is water!

Access: Within 10 minutes on foot from Yamazaki Station on the JR Kyoto Line. Please note that there is a good chance that there will be no taxis at the nearest station, so walking may be your only option. Tourist attractions: Learn about the history of whiskey and actually sample whiskey. This is the best place for whiskey lovers, as you can drink very rare liquors for just a few hundred yen. On the second floor, there are many Yamazaki and Suntory-related items for sale, and I bought a distillery-exclusive whiskey and a Yamazaki non-aged whiskey to take home.

We had a great experience visiting the Suntory Yamazaki Whisky Factory. The museum was well-organized and very informative, giving a good look into the history and the displays in the museum were interesting and easy to follow. One of the highlights was the tasting lounge, where we got to taste a few different types of Yamazaki whisky. Don’t forgot to purchase limited Yamazaki Distillery Exclusive Whisky (limit 1 person per bottle). Overall, it’s a must-visit for whisky lovers or anyone interested in Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the Osaka or Kyoto area!
