Exploring Kyoto's Heart: The Fushimi District Food and Heritage Tour

The tour starts by gathering at this primary entrance of "Kyoto Avanti," conveniently accessible via JR lines.

Visit the number one landmark in Japan, Fushimi Inari Shrine. You will learn about the origin of the spirit of Inari, and discover a few hidden spots in that area that most people don't know about.

Delight in the nostalgic charm of traditional Taiyaki, filled with luscious red bean paste or custard cream, while soaking in the district's unique aura.

Walk by the Canal of Fushimi, an amazing spot to enjoy the outdoors, the cherry blossom, and the beauty of a very traditional district of Kyoto.

Discover the story of Sakamoto Ryoma, one of the most important historical people in Japanese history, who nearly got assassinated in his room by the Shinsengumi, and could barely escape.

Experience authentic Kyoto at the Ryoma Shopping Street, a vibrant marketplace preserving its traditional spirit.

Visit the old Sake distillery of Gekkeikan and explore the Sake culture with the very first distillery to export Japanese alcohol overseas.

Before finishing the tour, we will go for one last stop and enjoy traditional Japanese sweets, after the Sake distillery, relax and talk about what has been done during the tour.

As we enjoy a soothing cup of coffee and recollect the day's vivid encounters, we escort you back to Kyoto Station, the heart and soul of Kyoto's Fushimi district etched in your memory.
