Tofu Lunch Indulge in a nourishing tofu set meal.

Yasaka Shrine Our walking tour of hidden spring water sources begins at Yasaka Shrine. Kyoto, a city ensconced in legend, is said to be guarded by four divine creatures known as the Shijin, each representing a cardinal direction. The east, where Yasaka Shrine stands, is protected by the Azure Dragon. Beneath the shrine's main hall, a mystical pond, or dragon's lair, is said to be home to this divine creature.

Yasaka Shrine The spring water that flows from this sacred place is known as "Gion Shinsui," or "Power Water," and is deeply revered by locals. It is believed that drinking this water, followed by applying a few drops of "Biyomizu" or " beauty water", which emerges from a shrine dedicated to beautiful women, will bestow upon one both inner and outer beauty. This powerful spot is frequented by geisha and maiko alike.

Hiyoke Temmangu This sacred spring water from a shrine revered as a fire-preventing deity has a fascinating history. It is said that during the Hamaguri-gomon Incident in the late Edo period, this area miraculously escaped a great fire. Since then, there have been numerous tales of the shrine's divine protection against fire.

Nishiki Temmangu This sacred spring water, said to be blessed by Tenjin, the deity of learning, is believed to grant protection from misfortune, wisdom, and success in academic pursuits.

Matcha Break After a walking tour of three unique spring water sources, our journey will conclude at a confectionery founded in 1803, where we will enjoy sweets and matcha made using the purest spring water.
