Hi! Any chance there are updates on when the festival is going to be this year and when we can buy tickets?
Kim Bergström Author a week ago
Hi! Good news, they've confirmed December 6th and 7th as the dates, the venue is the same, but the admission price is now 5000 yen which has gone up slightly.

Their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/whiskyfestival.jwrc/) says that tickets should be available mid-September, but there's nothing yet on their official site. I'd just keep an eye on things there and hopefully they should update when the ticket sales open, but let me know if you need anything and I'll try my best to get you more info!

Hi! When are the 2025 dates going to be released?

Thank you so much Kim! That does really help. My friends and I are hoping to make it to the festival but since we are coming from the US it takes a bit of planning! I appreciate the insight!

Is it correct that the event will be held in late March 2024? I wonder if this is last year's information. There was a similar event in December as well.
Kim Bergström Author a year ago
It looks like the 2023 event was early December (2nd/3rd) so we'll update our site. Previous years events were in March so we hadn't yet checked that far ahead.

Am I right in saying that Japanese whisky is now a respected player on the world stage?

Bye bye stock market and property, hello whisky investments! 💸

It's cheaper than 'afternoon tea' events! :)))
Kim Bergström Author 3 years ago
Very true! The afternoon teas are so nice, though! Probably more my style than whisky ;)

Thank you for your support!
