June 23, 2025 — Hyogo, Japan — Kampai Sake Tours, an inbound-focused sake brewery tour company operated by Keieimachi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hyogo, Japan) and named for the Japanese word for “cheers,” kampai, is pleased to announce a new partnership with International Tours France, the French subsidiary of the HIS Group, a global travel agency.

While Kampai Sake Tours has previously offered its sake brewery tours directly to international visitors, this new partnership enables the company’s tours to be distributed through HIS France’s travel agency network. As a result, travelers from France and other French-speaking countries can now book both private and small-group tours via trusted local travel agencies.

To coincide with this partnership, Kampai Sake Tours has also launched French-language tours, making its experiences more accessible to French-speaking sake enthusiasts worldwide. In addition to Kobe, the company already offers English-language sake tours in culturally rich Kansai destinations such as Kyoto and Nara. Moving forward, it aims to enhance these experiences further and expand French-language support to better serve French-speaking guests.

The Kobe tour focuses on the Nada Gogo area, a renowned sake-producing region with a rich history that has shaped the country’s brewing traditions for centuries. Participants visit three to four carefully selected sake breweries, where expert local guides provide clear and engaging explanations of the sake-making process and the area’s heritage.

Guests can sample a wide variety of freshly brewed and seasonal limited-edition sake, offering a unique experience available only at the breweries themselves.

The tours are conducted entirely on foot, allowing participants to stroll through scenic local streets and traditional brewery alleys. On certain days, tours may include visits to small specialty shops, providing an extra layer of local cultural experience.
