In Fushimi-Ward, the Historical Style Japanse Boat

Fishimi ward in Kyoto is famous for Fushimi-inari Shrine. It's an amazing place. When I wanted to count the orange gates, I gave it up when the number reach 100. But, Fushimi ward is not only famous for the shrine, but also other things.


A river in the ward. It looks like the scenery of Edo period. And this lace is popular to shoot movies. It has history.



If you love Japanese saki(酒), strong alcohol drink, you might know Gekkei-kan(月桂冠). This is the museum of Gekkei-kan, which is a saki making company.


Jukkoku-bune is one of the nicest thing in the area. You can get on a Japanese old style boat. And going down to the river.


When you get on it, you might be sleepy. Because the boat is nice to sit down and the river stream is always nice and easy.

Oh, after the boat why don't you try to go to gateways shrine?  You must be clear for the amazing scenery. Yeah, you can enjoy both, the relaxing thing and amazing thing!
