One of the greatest joys of winter in Japan is experiencing the beautiful snowy landscapes and indulging in gourmet delights. With this tour, we’ll guide you to the northern part of Kyoto. You’ll visit traditional thatched-roof houses and “funaya” (unique houses in the Ine area, built along the coast with facilities to store boats within the homes).

During the winter season, there are various events and illuminations that add to the charm. Winter offers a multitude of ways to enjoy your time in Japan and we invite you to experience it for yourself on the Iconic Winter Kansai Tour!

  1. KYOTO-MIYAMA-INE

    DAY01

    KYOTO-MIYAMA-INE

    We'll head to the picturesque Miyama Village known for its thatched-roof houses. In Miyama, you'll have the unique opportunity to visit local homes and join the owners in a cooking experience. This will allow you to get a taste of daily life in Japan.
    Afterward, we'll proceed to the unique Ine area, known for its "funaya" boathouses. You'll have the chance to stay overnight in one of these traditional boathouses and indulge in fresh seafood dishes. It's a truly immersive experience into the local culture and cuisine.
  2. INE-AMANOHASHIDATE―KOBE

    DAY02

    INE-AMANOHASHIDATE―KOBE

    Start off your day with a visit to a sake brewery! Did you know that Japanese sake is made with rice and water? Learn more about the process of making traditional handcrafted sake from a master brewer while you take in the rich aromas of the brewery. After the tour, treat yourself by sampling a diverse collection of sake, and receive a great souvenir.
    Please note, this sake brewery tour is only available for groups of 2 to 5 people.

    In the afternoon, become a sumo wrestler! Katsuragi City is said to be the location where the country's first sumo match took place long ago. At Kehayaza, a sumo museum in Katsuragi city, enjoy watching sumo demonstrations by amateur sumo wrestlers, and learn how to do this traditional sport for yourself. Then step onto the "dohyo" sumo ring and have a match with an amateur sumo wrestler!
  3. KOBE-SAKURAI―NARA

    DAY03

    KOBE-SAKURAI―NARA

    We will guide you to Nara, the land where Japan's history began. Winter is the season for sake brewing and there is no better time to visit a sake brewery for a tour and tasting experience.
    ※For those who do not wish to partake in alcohol, we can arrange a tea ceremony experience at a temple instead.
