[Klook Exclusive] Kyoto Jikkokubune Boat Ride for Cherry Blossom Viewing & Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum Half-Day Tour (Optional Hyakunen Uosanro Kaiseki Cuisine)

Embark on a replica of an Edo-era wooden boat and enter Kyoto's most serene cherry blossom waterway secret realm. The Fushimi Jikkokubune during cherry blossom season is a true spring tradition in the hearts of locals. This 300-year-old boat, which once transported sake and rice, now sets sail exclusively for cherry blossom viewing. You will slowly travel through the cherry blossom tunnel of the Uji River tributary: century-old sake breweries are scattered on both banks, weeping willows brush the water, and pink and white petals dance lightly with the waves. The 50-minute voyage is like a flowing spring tea ceremony. The tour also includes an exclusive stop at the "Misu Lock Gate," an important national cultural property of Japan. Disembark to visit the museum and explore how the Edo period used a sophisticated lock system to regulate water levels, experiencing the hydraulic wisdom of the ancients. Before and after the trip, you will also: Visit the tranquil ancient temple [Chokenji], and start a day of spring sunshine with the sound of bells; Enter the hall of sake culture [Gekkeikan Okura Memorial Hall] (admission fee is at your own expense) to trace the 400-year brewing history of Fushimi, the "capital of sake"; Optional upgrade to the 250-year-old Kyoto shop [Uosaburo]: -> Enjoy a light Mini Kaiseki lunch at noon, and taste the elegance of spring in the machiya garden; -> Immerse yourself in authentic Kaiseki cuisine in the evening, and bring a perfect end to your journey with multiple seasonal flavors. 🌸 Warm reminder: Fushimi Jikkokubune seats are extremely limited, and tickets are hard to find during the cherry blossom season. It is recommended to book as early as possible to lock in your exclusive waterfront hanami seat.
