Usagida Winery

Founded in 1864. A candy and pastry manufacture and sales store with a long history. “Chichibu Ame (Candy)” is meticulously and carefully crafted, with craftsmen being particular about bringing out the umami and original flavors of each ingredient. Almost all of the products are additive-free, making it safe for individuals of all ages to eat them.

In Chichibu Muse park's "Forest of Sports," there is a facility that anyone can enjoy regardless of age! In a mix of planted and native forests are seven zip lines high above the valley making it the largest park in Japan. The park is for adults and children older than 10 years. The courses are set at high altitudes making this forest adventure very popular among adults as well!

At the farmers' market, the locally brewed shochu “Chichibu Nishiki” and other liquors are sold together with selected specialty goods of Chichibu. Also, a wide range of alcohol can be tasted at the tasting booth.

Our brewery’s well “Bushūyama Jyōryūsui (water flowing underground) has been acknowledged for having some of Japan's best water of the Heisei era. If you bring a container, feel free to fill it up!

This facility was built in the early Meiji period around 150 years ago as a merchant's inn. Chichibu-Kan was renovated while maintaining its original construction and atmosphere as much as possible and re-opened as a base for social interaction and tourism. The first floor is a free rest area with a large fireplace, and surrounding it are rental boxes where citizens can display and sell their handicrafts and ceramics. Whether it's for tourism information or to mingle with the locals, we hope you will visit Hot Spot Chichibu-kan!
