Blessed with an abundance of underground water veins that spring up from the Momoyama Hills, Fushimi was once called "Fushimizu" (literally "fushimizu" in Japanese), and it is said that full-scale brewing began here about 400 years ago because the water was suitable for sake brewing. It flourished as a castle town and a port on the Yodo River on the Tokaido, and sake breweries with white walls stand out along the Uji River and canals. The streets of Fushimi, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a sake brewing town, with ten-koku boats sailing among swaying willows, have been designated as the "Fushimi Minamihama Neighborhood Landscape Development District" by Kyoto City. ~Time Schedule~13:00 [Meet at the north ticket gate of Keihan Electric Railway Nakashojima Station] Meet in front of the sake barrel object located immediately after exiting the north ticket gate! This is where the tour begins!

You will be surprised at how soft it is. In the exhibition room, you can see traditional sake brewing tools, which are designated as tangible folk cultural properties of Kyoto City. 13:50 [Fushimi Yume Hyakushu] ☆Winter limited sake ice cream included☆Shop & cafe "Fushimi Yume Hyakushu". In fact, this building is the former main store of Gekkeikan, built in the Taisho era. In addition to Gekkeikan, various Kyoto sakes and souvenirs are sold in the store. We have prepared a 3-type sake tasting set including appetizers here. 14:30 [Kizakura Kappa Country] ☆Kyoto's oldest local beer included☆ Kiizakura is famous for its sake commercials using kappa characters, but it is also the first company to make local beer in Kyoto. Therefore, in addition to the sake manufacturing process, Fushimizugura is characterized by the fact that you can tour the beer factory. After the tour, try tasting sake and beer in the lovely courtyard. 15:15 [Aburacho] ☆Authentic sake tasting set of three types☆ We have more than 80 types of sake from all 18 breweries in Fushimi, mainly ginjo sake and daiginjo sake, and more than 100 types including seasonal limited edition sake. In addition, at the sake tasting counter attached to the store, you can compare three types in small cup size as well as a glass. Just looking at the bottles will make you feel happy.

茶摘み体験を予約しましたが,前のグループの到着が遅く,予約時間より25分遅れて出発しました。1時間程の体験と聞いていましたが,茶畑まで徒歩なので,移動に時間がかかり,正味の体験時間は少なく,私のグループはショートカットされた感じでした。それでも,その後に予定を入れていた方は時間変更をしていましたので,余裕を持って,予定を組んだ方が良いと思います。周りの景色も良く茶摘み自体は楽しかったですが,良くも悪くものんびりしています。お店の茶そばは美味しかったです。

It was an incredible experience. It was one of m’y husband’s dreams and it really matched his expectations. As an observer, it was also great to watch and to learn so much. Sensei Masahiro is a great swordsmith, but also a great teacher and easy to talk to. Our interpret Jean did a great job. He is really good to switch from one language to another and we felt that he was used to work with sensei Masahiro. It was easier for the explanations. We highly recommend this activity which was fantastic

Driving there with a commercial vehicle can be a bit confusing or difficult. There is a bus nearby but be careful as it only comes every hour. At the location, you'll be welcomed in by a staff member and wait for your tea farm guide to pick you up and take you to the tea-picking location. Initially, you will go to a smaller one to pick leaves, and a larger one later for pictures. Great to go with friends or family. Very beginner friendly. We later made tea-leaf tempura, persimmon-leaf mackerel sushi, and kudzu mochi. I recommend having at least one party member who is fluent in Japanese.
