Saijo Sakagura-dori District (西条酒蔵通り)

The Saijo Sakagura-dori District is a densely populated area of sake breweries near JR Saijo Station. Along with the Nada area in Hyogo and the Fushimi area in Kyoto, Saijo in Hiroshima is one of the three major sake-producing areas in Japan, where sake has been actively produced since the early 17th century. The sake brewery district has seven sake breweries lined up in a compact area of about one square kilometer. At each of the sake breweries, you can sample delicious Saijo sake, the pride of Hiroshima.
