Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Just south of Kyoto is the world-famous city of Fushimi, where sake is produced.
The serene city is also filled with historic sites, wooden brewery houses, and picturesque canals lined with trees. Fushimi is also known for its hot springs which produce water perfect for alcohol production, and the Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine dedicated to the god of rice—Inari. Visitors to Fushimi can take a Jikkokubune Canal Cruise to a small museum depicting the ways Fushimi has changed and developed. Stay overnight at the Okura Kinenkan, the 19th-century river inn that is still operational today and dedicated to a famous samurai of Japanese legend, Sakamoto Ryoma. Visit in March to participate in the annual Sake Festival. Map
