\nFirst of all, speaking of Fushimi, the sake brewery tour is famous. Kyoto Fushimi is a city with many sake breweries along with Kobe’s Nada in Kansai. Among sake lovers, it is called Nada’s men’s sake and Fushimi’s women’s sake, and it is famous as a mellow sake. You can also stroll around the cityscape with sake breweries and enjoy tasting at facilities such as Kizakura Kappa Country and Gekkeikan Okura Memorial Hall operated by a major brewery.<\/p>\n

\nFushimi also has a stage of turbulent history at the end of the Edo period. That is “Teradaya”, which is related to Ryoma Sakamoto and has many fans around the end of the Edo period. This Teradaya is where Ryoma Sakamoto used to stay in Kyoto. Legend has it that when a thug struck while staying at Teradaya, Ry\u014d, who was taking a bath, ran up the stairs naked and informed him of the danger. At Teradaya, various things related to Ryoma, such as the bath that Ry\u014d was taking a bath at that time and the stairs that ran up, are exhibited, and it is a spot that even Ryoma fans want to visit at least once.
\nIn addition, you can still stay at Teradaya, so if you are a fan, you can spend your time thinking about the end of the Edo period when Ryoma ran around.<\/p>\n
