Abstract

Annual consum ption of sake and the number of production licenses are on the decline. This could cause a loss of regional characteristics of sake breweries (Sakagura). On the other hand, the movement of utilizing sake brewery architectures as tourism destinations can been seen in recent years, leading to the revitalization of the region. Accordingly, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive survey to clarify the status of remaining breweries in Japan and the actual conditions of utilization of sake brewery architectures . In the previous studies , we cond ucted surveys of Kaetsu, Sado, and Chuetsu areas in Niigata prefecture , and in this paper , we will summarize the entire prefecture including the results of the Joetsu area and the results of the previous studies.
