Sake, sake, some snacks, but mainly sake...
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
For sake lovers, there’s nowhere better to taste Japan’s famous rice wine than right here, in Kyoto! If you’re not sure if you fall into this category, you’d better try the experience to check. You’ll join one of our local Kyoto hosts who can’t wait to share the city’s sake heritage with you as you explore the Fushimi district together.
This area is also home to the most famous Shinto shrine in the city, so perhaps you’d like to swing past and add a bit of culture to your taste fest? Everywhere you look in this historic city, you will spot a spot of cultural significance, but we digress.
You’ll browse a sake emporium (where you can sample away before buying) and explore renowned breweries like Gekkeikan, which has been brewing sake since 1637. You’ll also be exposed to smaller family businesses that run microdistilleries and learn about the history of sake production and its heritage in Kyoto.
If you feel like something to nibble on, head to a local izakaya (which actually means ‘sit in sake shop) to share a few drinks and small plates with them. We’re sure you’ll be feeling thoroughly cultured by the end of this one if you know what we mean...

If you want to experience the important sights to see on your visit to Koyoto then I highly recommend this tour. Milo our guide is not only a local but his knowledge is quite unbelievable. This added greatly to the day. Not only taking us to places of interest but his conversation on route to the next place of interest really adds that special touch to your day. From our initial booking he reached out with ab itinerary of which he can alter to your requirements. This we did without any issue. He also provide us with some restaurant recommendations of which we used whilst in Kyoto and these also were great places we would never of found. Thank you Milo for the great day.
Show moreRyuki was great! In 5 hours we saw so much and he was able to customize the tour based off of what we wanted to see/avoid. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
Show moreExcelente recorrido súper personalizado a nuestro gusto. Ai nos recomendó excelentes sitios históricos , muchos de ellos conocidos solamente por locales. Excelentes recomendaciones de comida ya que le pedimos enfocar nuestro tiempo en eso. Súper amable y muy atenta a respondernos todas nuestras dudas. Mucho conocimiento en el transporte público, muy puntual y espero a que nos subiéramos al camión . Ir con ropa y zapatos cómodos ya que en 8 horas si se caminará bastante aunque se puede descansar cuando uno lo decida. 100% recomendable. An excellent tour, super personalized to our liking. Ai recommended excellent historical sites, many of them known only to locals. She also made excellent food recommendations, as we asked her to focus our time on those. She was super friendly and very attentive in answering all our questions. She was very knowledgeable about public transportation, very punctual, and waited for us to get on the bus. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, as there will be quite a bit of walking in 8 hours, although you can rest whenever you want. 100% recommended.
