Today, I’d like to introduce you to the store Life Vacation.

This small shop is located in Ginza, like most of the whisky stores I know.

Life Vacation stands out from other stores by making the most of its space to showcase the wide variety of bottles they offer.

You’ll find fairly common bottles like the Yamazaki 12 Year Old, but also rarer ones such as Chichibu Matsuri releases, Suntory’s 100th Anniversary collection, and the annual editions of Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Hibiki.

This store has several unique advantages, including a loyalty card that gives you access to glasses and coasters from renowned distilleries.

You’ll also find a large selection of whisky miniatures, which is great for sampling different bottles—and it takes up less space in your suitcase if you’re a tourist.

They post monthly promotions on their website and Instagram, usually before the 10th of the month, and often on Saturdays.

Finally, this whisky store offers tax-free shopping!

To conclude :

Life Vacation is a hidden gem for whisky lovers visiting Tokyo. With its diverse selection, rare finds, loyalty perks, and tourist-friendly options like miniatures and tax-free shopping, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring Ginza.
