Itinerary

  • Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum

    Surprisingly, this building retains the original wooden brewery structure built approximately 200 years ago. In the courtyard, there is a well from which you can drink Fushimizu, the water used in sake brewing. Similar to Fushimi's sake, it is incredibly soft and delicious, so please give it a try. You'll surely be amazed by its smoothness. In the exhibition room, you can view traditional sake brewing tools designated as tangible folk cultural assets by the city of Kyoto. Gekkeikan Sake Brewery's special sake cup with a tasting of three Japanese sake samples included.

    45 minutes

  • Fushimi Jikkoku-bune Boats

    There is a boarding point for a pleasure boat called "Jikokubune". From the Edo period to the end of the Meiji period, this ship played an active role as a logistics hub connecting Fushimi and Osaka. At that time, it took seven hours by boat to transport people, sake, and rice from Fushimi to Osaka. The tour ends at the boat dock. The tour guide will assist you in purchasing a ticket if you would like to continue to the boat cruise.

    15 minutes

  • Fushimi Yume Hyakushu Cafe

    Shop & Cafe "Fushimi Yumehyakushu." In fact, this building is repurposed from the former main store of Gekkeikan, built over 100 years ago. Inside the shop, you can find various Kyoto liquors and souvenirs, not limited to Gekkeikan. We offer a seated tasting set of three different sakes, including an appetizer. Please enjoy your time with us. For those who have participated in our tour only this summer, we are giving away sake ice cream here.

    20 minutes

  • Kappa Gallery

    Kizakura is famous for its sake commercials featuring Kappa characters, but it is also the first company in Kyoto to produce local beer. Therefore, at Fushimizugura, in addition to the sake production process, you can also tour the beer factory. After the tour, you can sample sake and beer in the lovely courtyard. We'll present you with one glass of Kyoto Beer here, so please relax and unwind from your journey.

    30 minutes

  • Fushimi Sake Village

    Fushimizu SakeKura koji opened in March 2016. This is a sake theme park where you can enjoy local Fushimi sake and dishes from all over Japan. With the support of 17 breweries belonging to the Fushimi Sake Brewers Association, this facility is a facility where you can enjoy about 100 kinds of Fushimi local sake.

    15 minutes

  • Fushimi Otesuji Shotengai

    I will take you to ABURACYO, located in the shopping district of Fushimi. Here, you can explore a selection of over 100 different types of sake, with a focus on ginjo and daiginjo sake from all 18 sake breweries in Fushimi. The collection includes not only regular selections but also seasonal limited editions. Moreover, at the in-store tasting counter, you can enjoy a glass or compare three different varieties in small cups. Just gazing at the bottles can provide a delightful experience.

Great

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a great Time! We got a deep insight in the sake production and tasted really good sake. Our tour guide Bob was really great: his English was perfect, he was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the topic!

Excellent tour! A lot of fun

Published on Sep, 2024

This was an excellent tour that I highly recommend! Our tour guide Bob was very cool, fun and easy to talk to. He also used to work in a sake brewery and was an expert on both the process of producing sake and the different varieties we could try. He took us to authentic locations that we would have never found on our own. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Sake Brewery Tour.

Published on Feb, 2024

Our tour guide, Makota ( I hope I spelled your name correctly), was excellent. He already had background knowledge of the brewery process which made the tour much more enjoyable and was able to answer our questions. After the tasting, he also recommended other brands of Kyoto Sake that we should consider. Since we liked all the ones he recommended, my husband and son ended up buying as much as we could take back to the US. We highly recommend this tour, with our guide. On another note, our guide also helped us get back to the train station and told us which trains to take in order to get back to our hotel, which was a godsend. It's that extra service that made the tour excellent.
