Fushimi cherry blossoms

I want to introduce the Fushimi area, a charming spot where sake and history merge.　Fushimi, located in the southeast of Kyoto City, has long been famous for brewing sake, and you can feel the history of sake breweries. However, nature is also attractive. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Fushimi River and Kizu River and the set of cherry blossoms, and autumn leaves each season. The area around Fushimi is full of atmosphere even though it is in the middle of the city and is dotted with historical buildings and spots surrounded by nature.
