The people here are super nice and passionate. Their moonshine line is great (especially that blueberry moonshine and the apple pie moonshine).
Dr. Zapf is nice and spent lots of time with me, answering all my questions and even drawing me some diagrams.
What a cool bar I randomly stumbled into. Live music with great singers, friendly bartenders and lots of local beer on tap.
Nice and clean rooms. Nice partial views of the football stadium from the 7th floor.
Really nice fresh pasta with seasonal ingredients. Pictured: goat cheese stuffed pappardelle with cherry tomatoes.
Do a tour here, if you can. Completely different view of making beer than your typical brewery tour. August is harvest season if you want to see the action.
Nice fresh pasta with beautiful river views. All vegetarian items are marked on the menu.
For the adventurous, try one of the blended drinks, sunflower, barley or flax. They look like clay, but tasty kinda sweet and healthy.
I used to recommend cocktails here. Who doesn't love getting slightly tipsy and wandering through modern art? However, they've revamped the cocktail menu to be much shorter, with cheap spirits at $15
The margaritas and the salsa that comes with the free chips is really good.
This is everything I want in a local brewery. Good sized crowds, tasty beer lots of seats, quick pizza eats.
The tomato basil avocado toast is pretty light. Wish there was more avocado, actually.
Pretty solid black bean veggie burger which comes with jack cheese and avocado. Get it on a brioche bun instead of whole wheat.
Climb the stairs in one go for luck! Good English signage at top for all the shrines and what they mean.
Use the pool between the two hot tubs. They call it the "Water Experience Area" and it has multiple chairs with jets and bubbles. Very fun.
One of the calmer sites in this world heritage site. Lots of stairs and make sure you view the gate to the tomb of Tokugawa Iemitsu, around back of the main temple.
This place is rightfully a treasure. Beautiful. Find the original "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" monkeys, but look at the other monkey panels. They tell the monkey's life journey!
