Experience Full of Japan! Sake Tasting and Cultural Activities in Hiroshima

Hello. It's Chippy from Hiroshima Hana Hostel.

Do you like Japanese sake?

If yes, Hiroshima is the best place for you.

A big sake festival in Hiroshima, "Saijo Sake Festival" is annually held in early October. Saijo is a small town in Higashi Hiroshima which has more than 10 sake breweries. The festival is getting more and more popular even among non-Japanese people. It's a shame it's only held one time a year...

However, there are good news for you guys who're coming in March this year!

Hiroshima Museum of Art is going to hold special events on the 1st and 22nd of March.
If you visit the museum on these dates, you can not only enjoy masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso, but also experience Japanese unique cultures.
