Things to do in Kyoto, Kinki: The Best Museums
The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

This was a spontaneous addition to our itinerary whilst in Kyoto. My partner wanted to taste sake whilst travelling in Japan. This brewery, now museum was great value for money. We paid about 400 yen entry which includes the museum, tasting of two sake varieties and plum wine, as well as a little bottle of sake each as a souvenir. We were pleasantly surprised at how interesting the museum was, we learnt a lot and enjoyed our tasting, also purchasing a bottle of the plum wine which was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. All explanations were in English too.
