Tunnel no Eki
トンネルの駅
A disused Takachiho Railway tunnel converted into a shochu aging cellar; visitors can walk inside, then sample and buy local products
A former tunnel of the Takachiho Railway stays at a constant temperature all year round, and local distiller Kagura Shuzo has converted it into a shochu maturing cellar. Visitors can enter the tunnel for free to see rows of jars and stored commemorative bottles. Outside, a carriage from the old Takachiho Railway is on display, and nearby a products shop sells shochu, dried Takachiho beef, yuzu products and local sweets. It's about 10 minutes' drive from the town center and makes a good stop on the way to Kunimigaoka or Takachiho Gorge. Drivers should not sample the shochu.
