Special tasting courses to enjoy the Gakkogura for a few hours!
We offer several courses that allow you to enjoy a sake tasting while exploring a lovely wooden school building “Gakkogura”. To book a tour, please select a course below and fill in the booking enquiry form.
《Notes》
- The Gakkogura is closed except for café opening hours. While spaces such as the Shikomigura (brewing
spaces) are closed to the public even in the café opening hours, this course allows visitors to see the entire facility.
- After receiving your application, we will confirm the dates of your visit and get back to you within a few days to see if we can
accept you.
- The tour basically meets at Gakkogura (1871 Nishimikawa, Sado City), but if you would like a pick-up service between Obata Shuzo Head Office (449
Manoshinmachi, Sado City) and Gakkogura, please indicate it on your application (up to a maximum of four people). In this case, please meet at the Obata Shuzo 15 minutes before the tour time. Please note that
we may not be able to accept your request depending on the dates.
