The Experience

Discover Handa, a hidden gem in Aichi—just 30 minutes from Chubu Centrair Airport by car and 40 minutes from Nagoya by train or car. Known for its rich fermentation culture, Handa offers an authentic alternative to Japan’s crowded tourist spots. Your tour begins along the historic Handa Canal, lined with traditional black-walled storehouses reflecting the city’s history. Next, step inside a preserved traditional residence. Here, you’ll taste five types of vinegar and learn what makes each one unique. After the tasting, browse local miso, soy sauce, and other aged Japanese seasonings known for their rich UMAMI—ideal as gifts. To finish, enjoy a stroll through Handa’s streets, with stops such as a sake museum and local wagashi shops. This mix of flavor, history, and scenery makes Handa a memorable destination for food lovers.
