Overview

Experience the ultimate sake adventure in Fushimi, a beautiful and historic district known as Kyoto's hidden gem!
This tour is carefully crafted for sake lovers and travelers seeking a deep cultural experience away from the crowded tourist spots.

1. Epic 18 Sake Tasting Experience: Get ready for an unparalleled tasting session! You will have the rare opportunity to taste and compare 18 different types of premium local sake, including exclusive brews you cannot find outside of Japan. (We highly recommend eating a full lunch before joining!)

2. Historic Breweries & Museum: Fushimi is Japan's second-largest sake-producing region. We will visit traditional breweries with over 380 years of history. Your guide will teach you the deep knowledge of sake making, flavor profiles, and how to taste like a pro.

3. Escape to the "Real Kyoto": Avoid the overwhelming crowds of central Kyoto. Walk along the peaceful, willow-lined canals and historic wooden buildings of Fushimi!

The site of his former residence is now home to a statue of Ryoma and a stone monument to the nine heroes of the Satsuma clan, and next door is the “Ryokan Teradaya” inn, a reconstruction of the original Teradaya inn from the time of the incident, making it a well-known place where you can experience the turmoil of Kyoto at the end of the Edo period.
