The Waterway that Nourishes Kyoto - From Miidera to Keage, a journey along the canal using all five senses -
Held on Friday, December 5th
Board the Lake Biwa Canal boat from Miidera Temple and enjoy the scenery of autumn leaves from the calm waters and listen to the sound of the water. After disembarking at Keage, walk along the Keage Incline, a symbol of Meiji-era modernization, to experience the timeless presence of a waterway that still thrives today. The final destination is Ryotei Yachiyo, facing the approach to Nanzenji Temple. In a space where you can fully enjoy traditional Kyoto cuisine and the gardens of gardener Ueji, you will enjoy tea with seasonal Japanese sweets and a lecture on the history and role of the Lake Biwa Canal, where you can "listen and learn." We will guide you on a high-quality journey that will be enjoyed with all five senses, via the "path of water" that is the canal.
