Surprisingly, this building retains the original wooden brewery structure built approximately 200 years ago. In the courtyard, there is a well from which you can drink Fushimizu, the water used in sake brewing. Similar to Fushimi's sake, it is incredibly soft and delicious, so please give it a try. You'll surely be amazed by its smoothness. In the exhibition room, you can view traditional sake brewing tools designated as tangible folk cultural assets by the city of Kyoto. Gekkeikan Sake Brewery's special sake cup with a tasting of three Japanese sake samples included.

There is a boarding point for a pleasure boat called "Jikokubune". From the Edo period to the end of the Meiji period, this ship played an active role as a logistics hub connecting Fushimi and Osaka. At that time, it took seven hours by boat to transport people, sake, and rice from Fushimi to Osaka. The tour ends at the boat dock. The tour guide will assist you in purchasing a ticket if you would like to continue to the boat cruise.

Shop & Cafe "Fushimi Yumehyakushu." In fact, this building is repurposed from the former main store of Gekkeikan, built over 100 years ago. Inside the shop, you can find various Kyoto liquors and souvenirs, not limited to Gekkeikan. We offer a seated tasting set of three different sakes, including an appetizer. Please enjoy your time with us. For those who have participated in our tour only this summer, we are giving away sake ice cream here.

Kizakura is famous for its sake commercials featuring Kappa characters, but it is also the first company in Kyoto to produce local beer. Therefore, at Fushimizugura, in addition to the sake production process, you can also tour the beer factory. After the tour, you can sample sake and beer in the lovely courtyard. We'll present you with one glass of Kyoto Beer here, so please relax and unwind from your journey.
