EXPERIENCE
In downtown of Omachi, where Wachigai is located, there are lots of Machiya architecture buildings which built about 100 years ago. Some buildings are still used, but others are not. Today, those buildings have been transformed and have different purposes for this town.
Walk around Wachigai, and find corners where still remains histories and cultures.

We are currently running a tour that allows you to visit Ichinoya sake brewery, the oldest of these.
Japanese sake brewing has been registered as an intangible cultural asset by UNESCO. It continues to evolve today thanks to the inhelited draftmanship.
