Saijo Sake Brewery Street Walk (3 h)
Saijo is readily accessible from Hiroshima Station. Take east-bound Sanyo Line about 35 minutes to go to JR Saijo St. The streets near the station along which several sake breweries stand are collectively called Sakagura-dori or Sake Brewery Street. It’s a happy surprise to see a group of breweries nestled so close to each other. Join a guided walking tour and taste refined sake and clear water essential for sake making at several breweries. You can bring back water in your bottles and it doesn’t cost a cent or a yen! Cafes and stores with local colors are also fun to explore.
How to come to Saijo:
Take eastbound Sanyō Line from JR Hiroshima to JR Saijo. (JP¥580)
Notes:
Allow enough time to purchase train tickets at JR Hiroshima Station because JR Hiroshima Station can be very crowded.
No train fare is required with your JR Pass.
Prepare cash in yen for shopping and drinks at breweries and cafes.
