The sake-brewing season runs from October through April, and that's the best time to take a tour of a kura (the Japanese word for brewery). Visit the Hakutsure Sake Brewery Museum year-round. Naturally, the nightlife here is prime perfection.

The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past.

Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.
