Hugh our guide was a really nice friendly guy, we got on really well and he was very informative. Unfortunately we were there in the middle of the Covid 19 virus, so many of the breweries were closed, but we did get some tasting done at 3 breweries. The lunch was amazing, some of the best Sashimi we have ever had and the Hotpot was fabulous!
We still had a very nice time and hope more travellers will take this tour when times are back to normal.
