Early Spring at Fushimi Canal

This section of the canal network in Fushimi was once used to move barrels of sake destined for Kyoto or Osaka. The striking Gekkeikan sake brewery stands on the canal banks, and there are boats that will take tourists for a ride along the canal. Chokenji Temple, Teradaya Inn and Kizukura Kappa Museum are nearby. The canal is especially beautiful when the cherry trees are blooming along the banks.
