Fushimi Canal

Fushimi Canal伏見運河

In the southern end of Fushimi, in deep south Kyoto, a narrow canal runs close to several of the sake breweries.

In days of old, this canal was used by barges that moved the barrels of sake north to Kyoto and south to Osaka.

Today the canal has tourist boats, tied to the sides of the canal.

The canal is lined with cherry trees and a short walk from the Gekkeikan Museum.
