Delve into the culture of Kyoto at a Shinto shrine and in the city’s famed sake district, two quintessential experiences that reveal much about this former capital of Japan. The shrine Fushimi Inari Taisha is best known for its thousands of vibrant orange torii gates along a wooded hiking trail that leads to the top of Mount Inari. The names of the donors that funded the torii gates – which are dedicated to the deity of good harvest and success in business – are inscribed on them. The influence of sake will come to light in Kyoto’s Fushimi Sake District, home to numerous local distilleries that have been perfecting their craft for centuries. Here, you will learn about the production of this beloved rice wine and be invited to enjoy a sip. While snapping photos of Teradaya Inn’s exterior, you will discover its infamous past, including a deadly 1862 political clash and an 1866 assassination attempt on reformer Sakamoto Ryōma. Free time in Kyoto’s historical Fushimi Ward follows.
