What can I visit?
You can see the actual production equipment (ceramic jars, bottling equipment, etc.) and storage facilities with a guided tour by our staff. During the production period, you can also see the actual manufacturing site.
Is reservation necessary?
We ask for reservations. While we might be able to accommodate without one, our staff are usually engaged in production tasks, so we generally do not accept walk-ins.
Want to visit with more than 10 people
Visits are possible, but the brewery is quite small. Since not everyone can enter at once, please allow plenty of time for your visit.
Is there an entrance fee?
No need. Everything including tastings is free.
Can children also visit?
You can visit with children, but entry is denied if all members are under 20 years of age.
Are you open on weekends and holidays?
If you make a reservation, we operate except for the New Year holidays (12/29-1/3), but there might be unscheduled closures. Please be aware that we may also close on weekdays.
Do you have parking?
Free to use. However, we do not provide alcohol to drivers.
Can I have a meal?
There are no dining facilities. Eating within the facility is prohibited except for tastings.
What products are available at the shop?
In addition to Hombo Shuzo’s products, we sell merchandise and souvenirs. We have a limited number of Yakushima exclusive spirits for sale.
Is it okay to just shop?
You can use the shop and tastings without taking a tour.
Is photography allowed?
Photography is allowed, but we may ask you to refrain from it at the staff’s discretion. Please consult us in advance for commercial photography or interviews.
Can you ship products?
Shipping costs must be borne by the customer, and we only ship within Japan. International shipping is not available.
Can I order by phone?
It is possible, but some limited items may not be available. Please confirm the details by phone.
