Useful Tips

While the wineries tend to be a bit far away from the station, once you get out into the vineyards you will find that many of them are a short walk apart.

For example, the Marquis Winery, Marufuji Winery, Katsunuma Jozo Winery and Kurambon Winery are all within a half kilometer of each other. If you want to add a light hike to your day out, you could also visit Manns Wines and then walk through the riverside vineyards to Grande Polaire, just two kilometers away.
