The Best Factory Tours in Japan
TripAdvisor has ranked the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology
(Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) as the island nation’s best factory tour for the fourth consecutive year.
Joining the automotive superpower in the list of must-visit sites are 8 of Japan’s leading alcoholic beverage facilities, each offering tours and unique experiences. Kirin Brewery’s Yokohama Plant (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) took 4th place. Nikka Whiskey’s Yokochi Distillery took 7th, showing that giving people free food and drinks is great way to win them over. Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum took 13th place, having just welcomed a total of 3 million visitors this past April.

Japan House London Opens to The Public
Japan House, a project led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, opened its London branch in June. It joins Sao Paulo and Los Angeles which opened in 2017. The London location will have an exhibition space, shops, cafes, restaurants, and more, to help introduce Japanese culture in a diverse setting. The Salt Group will produce Japanese restaurant “AKIRA” as part of Salt and Partners UK, as well as Japan Select Shop, “THE SHOP”. The Japan House project is designed to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of Japan.
Oh! And maybe grab a bottle of London Kanpai Sake on the way home for the full Japan-in-London experience.
