Private Kimono Walk Tea ceremooy and sake in Historic Kitsuki

Step back in time and explore Kitsuki, a beautifully preserved samurai town in Oita Prefecture. Kitsuki is Japan’s only “sandwich-style” castle town, with samurai homes on both hills and merchants once living below. Stroll its stone-paved slopes and quiet lanes and experience the charm of the Edo era. This fully private 6-hour tour includes pick-up and drop-off from your hotel or Beppu Port. Your English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the journey, and in Kitsuki, a specialist local guide will join you to share the town’s history, traditions, and culture. Enjoy wearing a kimono, walking through the historic samurai district, and experiencing a traditional tea ceremony. You’ll also visit Nakano Sake Brewery, a six-generation family brewery, to taste award-winning Chiebijin sake. Transportation and local experiences are arranged for you, allowing you to relax and enjoy Kitsuki at your own pace. Please book early in advance. Kimono rentals are not available on Wednesdays.
