A trip to meet your favorite sake by visiting the sake brewery or tasting, tasting the sweets made with sake, and having the perfect snacks, is a premonition that any liquor master will discover "something". On this tour, you will also take a Fushimi Jikkokubune Boat Cruise where you can enjoy the port town of Fushimi while being blown by the gentle breeze. ★Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum is a renovated sake brewery in the late Meiji era, where you can learn about the history of Fushimi sake brewing and the laurel wreath. There are various highlights such as an exhibition of sake action tools designated as a tangible folk cultural property of Kyoto City! ★"Fushimi Jikkokubune Boat Cruise": You can enjoy a waterside trip with a row of sake breweries and willow trees as if you had traveled back in time to the Edo period. ★Kizakura Kappa Country is a traditional izakaya operated by a famous brewery. Here you will experience a comparison of 9 types of Kizakura-Sake.

      Unusual dining experience.
      Had a great evening on this cruise. The views along the Sumida river were beautiful lit up at night. Food and drink was good and plentiful and the young serving staff were absolutely lovely.

      Great place for discount cafe tickets
      When you need to visit the owl cafe or the meerkat and hedgehog cafe - stop in here to get discounted tickets and they will make the reservations for you and direct you to the cafes. The people were very nice and friendly, English was well spoken.

      Staffed by a lovely student - very helpful. She told us how we would have to get to the nearby temple. A Russian studying Japanese literature so must be intelligent!

      If you come to Japan without proper planning, you may come to this center and pay for the service. Very good service

      good servics
      The staff who works there can speak well English, friendly, very helpful and good patience to solve all my problem. They know I can't speak Japanese, so they help me to take all the call and reserve the restaurant for me. They make my good day/good experience /good memories in Japan. I do appreciate it and thankful.

      Poodle Cafe Promotion
      I walked to the information centre as they had a poster for a teacup poodle café there. It was 1k yen for 40mins + 1 drink for child. I purchased it thinking it's a good deal. When we went to the café, it was a small bare room with a few customers and each of them had a poodle on their lap. That's it. there were only a few small poodles and you had to wait for them to get off someone's lap. I feel it's a rip-off for that and I don't think a tourist information centre should be promoting that café.

      Great relaxing experience
      Coming from Europe, a Japanese Onsen can feel a challenge - but don't be deterred. The staff here speak good English, explain where to go, what to do. I enjoyed the various different bathing experiences, and then paid for a 30 minutes vigorous scrub and massage session after. I highly recommend it all. I felt refreshed and invigorated when it was all over.
