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! It's a flat road, but you'll be walking about 2 kilometers, so please wear comfortable shoes on the day. 13:15 [Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum] ☆Three types of sake tastings, including Daiginjo, and a special Gekkeikan sake cup included☆The building is a wooden storehouse built in the Meiji era that is still in use. You can drink the underground water used in sake brewing from the well in the courtyard. Just like Fushimi sake, it is very soft and delicious, so please try it. 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.

The activity is a place of encounter. Enjoy a day with Monk Pierre, combining discovery, lecture and meditation, in a day of Zen culture that has shaped Japan. This is a rare opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful temples in Japan, Kosho-ji in Uji, with a private visit from an expert. Pierre is a permanent guest of Kosho-ji. Zen is an invitation. You are therefore Pierre's guest, but also Kosho-ji's. Monk Pierre, who has been a monk for 40 years, will guide you through the corridors and gardens that he knows so well, and will share with you the secrets of the tradition that continues through the generations. He will tell you the story of the temple and its founder, Zen Master Dogen, convey the subtle meaning of the architecture, and help you decipher its rich meaning. In front of the garden, you can get a glimpse of the meaning of the landscape and, above all, explore your own curiosity about nature through a contemplation of stones, trees, water and space. In the garden, which is worthy of meditation and wonder, you can also experience haiku and Zen koans. Or you can simply savour tea. At the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan, we invite you to a meditation session where you can honestly face yourself, which is usually only available to monks.
