About this map
A map for the trade and for travellers interested in brewery visits. A brewery is listed only when an official source says it has a shop, offers tastings, or welcomes visitors for tours. Each listing links to that source.
We work region by region. Each prefecture starts from the National Tax Agency’s regional brewery map or the prefecture’s own brewery guide, then we check the web for current tour details. Covered so far: all of Kanto (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma), Kyoto, Hyogo (including Kobe’s Nada district), Aichi, Nagano, Shizuoka and all of Shikoku, plus selected breweries elsewhere. Sources were checked on 9 November 2026; some official maps date from 2021–2022 (Aichi and Shizuoka are from January 2026), so always contact the brewery before you go.
“English info” means an English page, English-speaking staff or an English pamphlet is documented.
