Wander Fushimi, Kyoto's sake-brewing district — quiet, local and completely unlike central Kyoto
Step off the tourist trail and explore Fushimi Ōtesuji Shopping Street, a lively local arcade filled with historic shops and everyday eateries. Located just south of central Kyoto and a short distance from Fushimi Inari Shrine, this area offers a side of Kyoto that many visitors miss.

Led by an expert local food guide, you’ll explore the neighborhood while sampling a range of classic Japanese dishes, each with its own cultural background. While stops may vary slightly depending on the day, guests typically enjoy:

Taiyaki – the iconic fish-shaped pastry, served sweet or savory

Karaage – crispy Japanese fried chicken, often offered in multiple flavor variations

Kare pan (curry bread) – soft bread filled with rich Japanese curry

Izakaya-style meats – char-grilled skewers and regional specialties

Matcha sweets – a Kyoto staple that reflects the city’s long connection to green tea

As you eat your way through the tour, you’ll learn about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind each dish. Between stops, you’ll take in the atmosphere of Kyoto’s historic streets and local food culture, discovering why locals, not tourists, are the ones eating here.
