Saijo....Sake Town
Joined 2015
After 30 min. train ride from Hiroshima, you arrive at this tiny town, SAIJO. Just follow chimneys and you find SAKE here. In this small town, you will encounter the world famous and time-honored sake breweries. Enjoy waking around and drop in at some of sake breweries to have a taste. Good rice and quality water are indispensable for making good sake, though. This town has both of them. In 2025, the Sake festival will be held on October 11&12. Come and join us!!

“Exceptional Tour of Hiroshima ”
Our tour of Hiroshima with Mayumi is the top highlight of our 2 week stay in Japan. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed every moment of day that was packed with visiting important historical sites and beautiful landmarks. Mayumi's knowledge base is unmatched to any other guide we've had. She was so gracious to schedule a last minute tour for us and squeezed in the most amazing experiences. Thank you so very much Mayumi! You truly made our visit to Hiroshima and experience we will never forget.

Dera Krysla, I am very honored to receive your excellent review. I appreciate that you made the time to come to Hiroshima in spite of the hot weather. Hoping you and your family enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, even though the hot and humid weather is likely to continue. All the best. Mayumi

Dear Elana. Your beautiful review is very much appreciated. I was so grateful for the graciousness and thoughtfulness of you and your sister in coming all the way to Japan with your father to fulfill his wish that he wanted to come to Japan for a long time. It was surely my honor to have spent the wonderful time with you two and your great father. Wishing you and your family all the best for happiness, long life and peace. In gratitude. Mayumi
