Private room tasting of a good range
Tired 10 whiskey’s (30ml each) and then had a glass of our favourite to finish. Some good information provided about the whiskey as well. The location is private in their own office so would be good for a private tour group. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining us and for your review! It was a pleasure sharing the different whiskies with you, and I’m so glad you enjoyed learning a little more about them along the way. I hope you had a fantastic time, and we’d love to welcome you again for another private tasting in the future! 🥃✨

Excellent!!
This was great! Our host was Reina and he was awesome. We mixed up our tour day showing a day early because of some schedule shifting, but they squeezed us in which was so very kind and helpful. Reina is knowledgeable about the whiskey and oersonable. Very good whiskey selections and a wonderful experience! Loved it. Thank you
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m really glad we could accommodate you and make the schedule mix-up work out. 😊 It was a pleasure spending the evening with you and sharing some of my favorite Japanese whiskies. I’m so happy you enjoyed the selections and the experience! Thank you again for joining me, and I hope you continue enjoying Japanese whisky! 🥃✨ Reina

Whiskey Gold.
If you get Rein as a tasting facilitator then you struck gold! He is knowledgeable about the whisky history and is engaging. We confused the date for the tour and he took care of us for a same day booking. He's the best. You will enjoy 10 tasting and a bonus at the end.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! It was truly a pleasure spending the evening with you. I’m glad I could help when the date got mixed up, and I’m even happier that you enjoyed the whisky tasting! 🥃 I had a fantastic time sharing some of Japan’s whisky history with you, and I hope you’ll enjoy many more whiskies on your travels. Thank you again for joining me! 😊 Reina

Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class cost?
+
Prices start at ¥14,430 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class?
+
Included: Bottled water; Brunch; Photos during the tour; Alcoholic beverages; and Hidden souvenirs!! (I wish you enjoy Japanese food even after returning to your country). Not included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class?
+
On the day of the event, we will meet at the entrance of Starbucks coffee in Yoyogi Uehara station :) *We are located middle of Tokyo. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class offered in?
+
It is offered in Japanese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Japanese Whisky Hunting HIGH QUALITY ONLY Rare Tasting Class if the weather is bad?
+
