まずなかなか予約がとれません。2か月目にしてやっと蒸留所と天然水工場の見学が予約できました。2023年10月にリニューアルオープンしたばかりで
きれいでした。広大な敷地の中をバスで移動して見学、敷地の広さ、山に抱かれた素敵な環境を実感できます。また、ウィスキーのテイスティングもできる場所もおしゃれで周りの紅葉を眺めながら美味しいウイスキーに舌鼓することができました。とても気持ちのよい場所です。

数年ぶりに訪問しました。
最近のウイスキーブームで、見学者が増えて、
以前は予約なしで簡単には入れたのですが、
早めに予約しないと気軽に見学ができません。
付近にあるシャトレーゼのアイス工場とセットで、
白秋に来たら絶対に行くべき定番の観光スポットです。

I love whisky distilleries and this one did not disappoint (except for one thing, to be mentioned below). The location was breathtaking, in the Japanese Southern Alps, and the tour was fantastic. There's a museum of whisky, and a restaurant on site. It culminated with a great tasting.
The production capacity appeared very high, and there's a lot of barrels aging. Unfortunately there was no ability to buy a bottle of the whisky made on site. That was my only disappointment.
The bar in the visitor's center was really special. They were pouring some incredible whisky for really good prices.
This is a must-see day-trip from Tokyo.

By train you'll need to stop at Kobuchizawa station, we took a taxi from there down to the distillery were we waited for a tour. For a small fee we grabbed a english headset and followed our tour guide around the complex. My favourite room had to be the barrel room. It's no where near as massive as some of the others in japan, but the stack of barrels held 3 (?) metres from the floor and layered to the roof is phenominal. The smell when you open the doors to the barrel room is quite strong if you are sensitive to strong whiskey. Hakushu had the large vat rooms sealed off during our visit, and instead allow you to see in via large glass doors.
The area is truly beautiful and while we missed out on the bird park attached i would like to return outside of winter to see some of the birds in the area. Well worth the trip.
For getting back to the train station we asked the front desk to call at Taxi for us at a certain time, The staff were quite helpful in this.

流石の混み具合です、受け付け最低10分待ちます。山崎とは大違いです。ウィスキーは品薄状態ですが、覚悟の上で行くので問題はございません。駐車場広いです。ツアーも必ず予約していきましょう、当日予約は到底無理のようでした。

前日夜に急遽行きたいと思い、HPを確認したら、工場見学の予約の空きはあるようだったけれど、前日の正午までしかネットからの予約はできないと書いてあったので、当日に電話して聞いたら、当日予約はできないので、直接工場に行って、空きがある時間があれば、見学できますとの回答をいただきました。空きがなければ、行っても見学できないと…。前もって予約しておけば何の問題もないですが、せめて、電話で現在の空いてる時間を教えてくれるとか(聞かなかったから教えてくれなかったのかもしれないけど…)してくれてもいいのかなーと。HPには、空いてる時間枠のところに、電話でお問い合わせくださいって書いてあるから、問い合わせたら、当日予約を受けつけてくれるのかと思って電話したのに、そんな案内でした。
工場見学は、おもしろかったし、売店で工場限定ウイスキーも買えて満足しました。

If you like whisky (or even whiskey), and you're up for a trip out of the big city, this is a nice half day trip.
The location is beautiful, the museum is bigger than I expected and the tour + tasting is fun. The museum covers more than just whiskey and more than just Suntory history. It digs in to the history of making alcohol and touches on the science as well. If you want more of a Suntory-focused museum, the one at Yamazaki near Osaka may be wof more interest. I've even to both, but have only been on the paid tour here. I expect they're very similar except for calling out specific features of the different distilleries. The water from the Alps here is kind of a big deal.
While Yamazaki gets my vote for the easiest to get to from the train station, Hakushu has the best views. Definitely don't miss the view from the top floor of the museum. If you're on a paid tour, get there a little early and spend some time in the museum--or plan to stay a bit after.
Note: the museum shop takes credit cards, but the bar, restaurant and I think the taxis require cash. My taxis took "PayPay," but that is not something I have setup or know anything about. The "JapanTaxi" app I was using in Tokyo did not find any drivers out here (hey, I had to look!)
My taxi ride to and from the Kobuchizawa station was about ¥2100 each way in no traffic (15-20 minutes or so). It was ¥1000 for the tour+tasting at the distillery -- book online a few months out if you are planning to do more than see the museum. I believe just going through the museum is free, but you should check their website to be sure.
My tour guide (I believe her name was 井口) did a great job... note that it is ALL in Japanese, so keep that in mind. There is an audio guide app that you can download (do that before you get there) that they will unlock for you just before the tour begins ... (got headphones? Bring them!) If you forget, there is a WiFi network in the shop that you can use for the download. My feedback there is that the English speaker on the recording could speak A LOT faster. As an alternative, having the ability to "2x" the speed would have been nice. Or, having a text transcript to skim... I kept lagging behind the group if I tried to play the English soundtrack from my phone. It would also be nice if they let you listen to the audio AFTER you've left. Sadly, it re-locks at some point.
Getting here from Tokyo is best on the Azusa limited express trains, which will take about two hours from Shinjuku JR station and cost about $50 per person each way. As for the amount of time total, I caught the outbound Azusa 1 train at 7:00 from Shinjuku and arrived at the distillery's reception desk by 9:30 for my 10:30 tour. I spent most of the hour in the museum and outside on the beautiful grounds. (I had booked the tasting tour a couple of months in advance). At the end of the tour and tasting, I did some shopping in the shop and caught the Azusa 16 train back to Shinjuku at 12:52. I was alone and didn't dawdle at all. Planning for the 18 train an hour later is a safe bet... you can exchange your tickets at the station if you make it in time to catch the earlier one.
An important tip to prevent missing your outbound train: be sure to ask the reception desk at the distillery to call a cab for you about 30 minutes before you need to leave. Mine only took 15 to arrive, but the weather was not great so the place was not that crowded.
I can't stress enough: if you want to sample at the bar... BRING CASH
You really should check the website before heading out to visit. They are closed for maintenance some days and it is not a quick (or inexpensive!) jaunt from Tokyo.

I plan on traveling with a suitcase and snowboard bag. Does anyone know if Hakushu will store your luggage during the tour? I don’t believe lockers at the train station will be large enough. Thanks!

I do not believe that is a service they offer at the distillery. You could look at sending your bag ahead to your destination using takkyubin (luggage delivery) via Yamato transport or someone similar. I have done that before when traveling in Japan with great success.

Hi,great info on your review to Hakushu. Am planning a day trip from Tokyo to Hakushu as well. Can i quickly check how much time you would suggest for us to thoroughly enjoy the trip? i understand that the train is 2 hrs each way from Tokyo, but how much time do you recommend us spending at the distillery itself?

The tour is 80 mins so 1.5 hours is enough time at the distillery unless you want to chill and drink in the Bar

I planed to go in weekday which the free shuttle bus is not available. May I ask if it is easy to take a taxi from the distillery back to JR station?

I plan to visit the distillery upon arrival at Kobuchizawa station and take a taxi there with my luggage. Then after the visit, take a taxi to my hotel for check-in. Do you know if there are lockers available where I can deposit my luggage? Thanks!

Hmmmm... I did not see any, unfortunately. Although this is Japan and the amount of helpful services available is often surprising, I wouldn't count on it and contact them first and ask. By email at least English should be ok. Enjoy!!

Is it difficult to get here from Shinjuku station?
Bravo J

Absolutely NOT. The public transportation system in Japan is very easy to navigate once you get the hang of it!!! You can take a direct train via JR line from Shinjuku Station to Kobuchizawa Station and take a cab from station to Suntory (abt $15). The round trip ticket is abt 114000yen ... If you are staying longer and exploring other areas of Japan it may benefit you to get the JR Railpass. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed the distillery. If you have enough time I totally recommend stopping by Kofu and indulging in the local hoto noodle dish. Yum!!! Enjoy!!!

I'm planning on getting off at the kobuchizawa station. Is there any bus service or taxi service that would be able to take me there?
Thanks!!

Yes. I'm not sure about bus service ~ but taxis are readily available right outside the station. We took a cab there and back. 15-20 minutes before you are ready to leave the distillery, have the employee call a cab for your return to the train station. ENJOY!
