In amongst the lush greenery of the Arakawa River stands a foreign-looking redbrick building: the Nikka Whisky Distillery.

Here, whisky stills over 100 years old imported from Scotland are used to make whisky. Groups of visitors numbering less than 10 are free to enter and see the whisky-making process without having to make a reservation.

In the guest hall, visitors can try whisky (or apple juice) tasting for themselves. There is even a restaurant where visitors can enjoy a delicious meal of jingisukan: juicy lamb and fresh vegetables grilled on a skillet.

This is a must-visit for visitors to the Arakawa Onsen area!
