Odakyu Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Shigeru Suzuki), in collaboration with Kanachu Taxi Co., Ltd., an Odakyu Group company (Headquarters: Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Teruhiko Nagayama), will launch a new digital ticket, 'Kanagawa Sake Brewery Tour,' on Monday, May 11, 2026. This tour offers a new tourism experience that allows visitors to collectively enjoy sake breweries and local resources scattered mainly along the Odakyu Line. Key Visual This ticket offers a total of six courses, primarily involving a chartered taxi tour of up to four of the twelve sake breweries located in Kanagawa Prefecture. Some courses also include stops at nearby tourist attractions such as shrines, ranches, and bread factories. The departure and arrival points are Ebina Station or Hon-Atsugi Station, making it easy to combine with Hakone tourism, thus proposing a new way to enjoy the Odakyu Line. In 2024, Japan's 'traditional sake brewing' was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and the cultural value of sake is highly regarded both domestically and internationally. In recent years, 'sake brewery tours,' where visitors can experience sake along with the unique climate and water of the region, have gained increasing interest as weekend outings and short trips. The area along the Odakyu Line is blessed with water resources essential for sake brewing, such as the high-quality groundwater nurtured by the Tanzawa mountain range, and sake breweries utilizing this natural environment are scattered throughout. However, since many sake breweries are located in rich natural environments, accessibility has been a challenge for enjoying sake brewery tours. List of Sake from Each Brewery By utilizing chartered taxis, this ticket allows visitors to tour sake breweries efficiently, considering traffic, and can be used with peace of mind even by those unfamiliar with the area. A key feature is that all members of the group can enjoy sake tasting without the need to drive. Furthermore, during transit, luggage can be left in the taxi while visiting sake breweries and tourist attractions, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the tour hands-free without worrying about the weight of souvenirs. Large vehicles capable of accommodating up to six people (excluding the driver) are used, ensuring a spacious private space for travel. In addition, drivers carry 'Pocketalk' translation devices, creating an environment where international customers can also use the service with peace of mind. Our company, through collaboration with various group companies and local businesses, will re-edit the scattered tourism resources along the line and propose a new form of tourism starting from public transportation by combining movement and experience.
