      Fun time walking tour of Matsuyama

      David_T, Jul 2025
      Miwa was a fun tour guide. Her explanations were interesting and her pictures added to the tour. She was very cognizant of my wife and the heat of the day. She would ask which routes we would like to walk around the city, and recommended which based on how strenuous it could be. Loved the sake tour with labeling, she helped translate the staff’s explanation on different sake tastes. We went over the tour end time but well worth it!

      Thank you so much for taking our tour! Despite the hot weather, I’m glad you were able to enjoy exploring the Dogo area. During the sake tasting, I was impressed by how refined your palates were—you truly appreciated the different aromas and flavors. I hope you’ll consider visiting Matsuyama in the future. It was wonderful meeting you all!

      Amazingly Sweet Guide and Delicious Sake!

      My guide was very sweet and we had great conversation! She took me to all the important sights around the Dogo Onsen and provided a lot of important history that explains the significance of the Onsen! The sake tasting at the end was an amazing way to end the tour! Some of the best sake I’ve had and I learned a lot from this brewery. The brewery provided great service and I left with the cutest bottle of sake along with two other bottles as a great reminder of my time here! Highly recommend this if you’ll be spending any time in Matsuyama. Also If you’re planning on visiting the Onsen! Do this tour first!!! The guide will help you understand how the onsen works and can give you tips to make the most of your visit.
