Walk Arashiyama’s bamboo grove, Tenryuji temple and Okochi Sanso garden, then hike to macaques and Katsura River views, or swap in sake.
“I loved this tour! It was small, and Karim was very personable and knowledgeable. It was great to learn about Japanese culture from him. He patiently answered all of our questions and took his time. Overall, it was highly enjoyable; however, this tour may not be a good option for someone who has mobility issues..”
A 3-hour Kyoto Fushimi sake tour with museum visit, 10+ tastings, and food pairings, plus label tips for ordering in Japan.
“Kyoko & Miyuki were great guides. We learned so much about sake including how to read labels, what kind of styles are there, what affects the taste, how sake is made, how it’s paired with food… Definitely recommend this course.”
Kyoto’s Fushimi sake walk blends a museum intro with a guided tasting of about 18 styles, small-group pacing, and lots of walking lore.
“Our afternoon spent during the sake tour was rich in history who would know that the Gekkeinan brewery existed since the 1600’s. Our guide was knowledgeable regarding the brewing process and stepped us through the tasting process. We had a wonderful time being sociable and tasting 17 types of sake. Our tour finished with our guide giving us advice on how to get to other areas more efficiently and hailing a taxi for us. I would thoroughly recommend our guide and the sake tour. It was a wonderful experience!”
