Here’s an overview of your tour
Welcome to Fushimi, best known as Sake Town! Explore this fascinating district and get to know more about the sake culture on a private tour with your favorite local. The best part? Enjoy tastings of different sakes and explore the city one sip at a time.
On this private tour, you'll get the perfect introduction to sake, a traditional Japanese drink made by fermenting rice. Check out a display of 20 sake casks at Chushojima Station as well as Hiro Samurai display for the perfect combination of history and culture.
What a better way to know more about sake than at the Gekkeikan sake museum! But before going inside, take in the beautiful scenery outside this place and see the Jukkokubune boats sail through the river. Inside, the world of sake awaits! Visit the museum to get the answers to all your sake questions. See the process and the tools used to make the famous drink and get a tasting of 3 different types of sake.
Check out the 100-year-old offices of what used to be Gekkeikan's headquarters. Compare the old and new offices across and hear fascinating stories behind the story behind one of the world's oldest companies. For a bit more of history, go to Teradaya, the inn of choice for those that had to cross from Osaka and Kyoto. This place is full of political insights and history you need to hear.
More sake? Yes, please! Visit Aburacho for a Fushimi sake tasting paired with a bite and hear more about the Japanese drinking culture and traditions. Say goodbye to your local host and get more recommendations for things to do in the Fushimi district.
