Escape the crowds and discover a different side of Kyoto with a visit to a Kyoto City-designated Important Machiya and your choice of a guided walk through Fushimi Inari Shrine or Fushimi’s historic sake district.
Begin at Shizuhamo, a beautifully preserved machiya with authentic tea rooms, seasonal ikebana, and traditional tea utensils. Guided by a certified tea instructor, grind matcha with a stone mill and prepare your own bowl while learning about Japanese tea culture.
Afterward, choose between Fushimi Inari’s famous Senbon Torii gates, Okusha Hohaisho, and Omokaru Stone, or the traditional streets of Fushimi’s sake district and a sake-brewing museum. Your guide will share the history and stories of your chosen destination.
Transportation and museum admission are not included. This small-group tour offers a personal introduction to Kyoto’s living cultural heritage beyond the usual sightseeing experience.
