Some “Book on” links go to GetYourGuide, Viator or Klook through our affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. Links to operators’ own websites and Arigato Travel are not affiliate links. Commissions never affect which experiences we list. Details.
How we collect these listings
Each row is a real, bookable experience with its own page on the operator’s website, Arigato Travel, GetYourGuide, Viator or Klook. When the same experience is sold on several sites, we show it once with a booking button for each. Prices are shown in the currency the booking page used on the date we checked, and they change often, so treat them as a guide and confirm on the booking page.
Choosing between tours
Decide first whether you want to see a brewery (a brewery tour), taste many styles (a tasting or class) or eat well (a food pairing). Then pick a city that fits your route. Our guide to choosing a sake tour explains the differences in more detail.
