This was an interesting and fun place to visit for an hour or so. We booked in advance online. The tour was done in English and she showed us around the brewery as much as was possible. There were some interesting videos to watch too. We got the chance to see the old house and gardens that belong to the brewery family - they're very beautiful. The tour ended in the shop, where we sat around a table and understood more about the different types of sake they make there - and then got to try a few. The sake was very delicious and we were going to buy some but unfortunately didn't have space in the suitcase. Next time!

The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art opened to the public in 1978. Today, we continues the commitment to promote art culture. Starting with the first acquisition, Jean-François Millet's The Sower, the museum has expanded its collection including other works by Millet, other Barbizon School artists and major European landscape artists. The museum has thus come to be known as the "museum of Millet". Furthermore, we have rich collections of modern and comtemporary Japanese artists. Thanks to many individuals' generous donations, today the museum's collection amounts to approximately 10,000 works. In 2004, the South Wing was added to the main building, offering more space for exhibitions, additionally in 2009, Millet Wing has opened, which is especially for works by Millet and Barbizon School artists.

For anyone with an interest in textiles this is a must see. Take the time to watch the short film first to understand what you are looking at as the techniques used are incredibly complex. I had never seen anything like it. Every piece is a work of art. It is quite a story of a person following their passion and perfecting it. The gardens and shop are lovely as well.

I love whisky distilleries and this one did not disappoint (except for one thing, to be mentioned below). The location was breathtaking, in the Japanese Southern Alps, and the tour was fantastic. There's a museum of whisky, and a restaurant on site. It culminated with a great tasting. The production capacity appeared very high, and there's a lot of barrels aging. Unfortunately there was no ability to buy a bottle of the whisky made on site. That was my only disappointment. The bar in the visitor's center was really special. They were pouring some incredible whisky for really good prices. This is a must-see day-trip from Tokyo.
