This was a last-minute thing my dad wanted to do while we were there. We canceled some plans just to go here, but the sad part was that because this was a last-minute thing, we weren’t able to maximize our time at the distillery.
How to book Suntory Yamazaki Distillery whisky tour:
but since it was a last minute decision, all paid tours were fully booked 🙁 so my dad and I had no choice but to choose this oneonce you choose the tour, you’ll be prompted to this pop up. select your time and click reserveenter your details
once you’re done, click confirmconfirmation page“mr” because my dad was the one who booked our tour during our trip hahaha I just woke up to the news that we’re heading to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery
Before I talk about how you can go to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, I will just tell you regarding the restaurant that we discovered while walking towards the distillery from the subway. We had lunch at Okonomiyaki Yamaki before going to the distillery.
how the restaurant front looks like
it’s just a small placewe chose the 2 recommended Okonomiyaki – Mix-yaki and YAMAKI-yaki
we also got a Omosubi
it’s only one lady who’s managing the place
she made the Okonomiyaki for us
this has been the best Okonomiyaki I’ve ever tried, definitely far from the commercialized ones that I’ve tried
How to go:
1. Get down at Ōyamazaki Station (but you can also choose to get down at Yamazaki station, but we got down at Ōyamazaki Station)
option lines –
2. There is only one exit
view as you leave the stationthere’s a map on how you can reach the distilleryturn left towards the 7/11but you’ll be walking on the left side of the roadyes the left sideyou’ll pass by Okonomiyaki Yamakion your rightkeep on walking straight, at this point we walked on the right side of the road the one with a pathwayyou will just follow the roadjust keep on following the roadand walk straight but at the end , you willturn towards the leftand you will just keep on walking straight

What to expect for the Yamazaki Whisky museum viewing:
my dad tried to ask if there were still slots to the paid tour but it was really fully booked 🙁 it would be best to book before your trip to Osaka
guess pass for the museum viewing
I was busy taking photos of my dad that I forgot to ask him to take a photo of me 🙁you can still do some taste testing even if you opted for the free viewing, but you have to pay
This was my only photo remembrance at the distillery HAHAHAHA!
all photos taken using an iPhone / Fujifilm X-T20 18-55 mm
Hopefully, we can come back here and join the paid whisky tour at the distillery.
