• We want to make and drink beer using hops we've grown ourselves! This passion is spreading, and hop cultivation is becoming more widespread in the Harima region, both in the satoyama and in urban areas. While listening to stories about "beer grown to the hilt," we visit a small, colorful village on the western edge of Himeji. At Zappa Village, we'll experience making malt pizza, made with malt from the beer brewing process. Once the delicious pizza we all made is ready, we'll toast with beer grown to the hilt and enjoy lunch. After spending some time in the lovely Zappa Village, we'll head to an authentic craft beer brewery for a tour and a toast with your favorite craft beer! This is a full-day tour that lets you experience the expanding craft beer culture in Himeji. <Schedule> 9:30 AM Meet and depart at the south exit of JR Himeji Station.
