Details
Only this one day of the year!
Let's go to Fushimi Sake Festival and Yodo Cherry Blossom Festival!
Our Destination
Fushimi Sake Festival (Payment by purchase)
https://www.fushimi.or.jp/sakefes/
...On this one day of the year, 14 sake breweries in Fushimi simultaneously open their breweries and offer tastings of their new sake. There are so many events, it's fun even if you don't drink!
Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum (Admission ¥600, includes a souvenir)
Kizakura Kappa Country
https://www.gekkeikan.co.jp/enjoy/museum/
https://kizakura.co.jp/restaurant/country/
The groundwater that flows through this area has made Fushimi one of Japan's three major sake-producing regions, and of course, it's perfect for Kyoto cuisine. (The other two are Nada in Hyogo Prefecture and Saijo in Hiroshima Prefecture.)
See how sake is made.
Uji River Branch

Fushimi boasts a beautiful waterway, developed as a port in the 16th century. This will also be an event venue. The view of the sake breweries across the waterway is also beautiful.
Gokonomiya Shrine
https://gokounomiya.kyoto.jp/
...The shrine here is called Gokounomiya because of the miraculous, fragrant water that springs forth from it. The name Fushimi literally derives from the abundant spring water. The buildings, including the gate of the now-defunct Fushimi Castle ruins, are also magnificent.

1年中でこの日だけ!
伏見酒フェスと淀 桜まつりへ行きませんか?
行先
伏見酒フェス(支払いは買い物に応じて)
https://www.fushimi.or.jp/sakefes/
…1年のうち、この日だけ、伏見にある14の酒蔵が一斉に蔵開きをし、新酒を試飲をさせてくれます。イベントが盛りだくさんで、お酒を飲めなくても楽しいです!
月桂冠大倉記念館(入場600円。お土産付)
キザクラカッパカントリー
https://www.gekkeikan.co.jp/enjoy/museum/
https://kizakura.co.jp/restaurant/country/
この地を流れる地下水は、伏見を日本の三大酒どころにしており、もちろん京料理にもぴったりです。(他の二つは兵庫県の灘、広島県の西条です。)
どのようにして日本酒が作られるのか見学しましょう。
宇治川派流
https://agua.jpn.org/yodo/uji_h.html
伏見には16世紀に港として整備された美しい水路が流れています。この日はここもイベント会場となります。水路越しの酒蔵の景観も美しいです。
御香宮神社
https://gokounomiya.kyoto.jp/
…この地の神社が御香宮と呼ばれるのは、霊験あらたかな香り高い水が湧き出したから。そして伏見の地名も文字通り、豊かな湧き水に由来します。今はなき伏見城遺構の門を始め、建物も素晴らしいです。
↓京阪線で移動(240円)
淀 桜まつり
https://totteoki.kyoto.travel/events/11848/
約1.3km、約300本の河津桜の水路を散策し、ひと足早いお花見を楽しみましょう。
