Enjoy a full day of sightseeing and a sake-tasting session in the port city of Kobe, with round-trip public transport by rail from Kyoto. Stroll through Kobe's Kitano district past dozens of historical 'Ijinkan' (foreign residences) and, after a buffet lunch, head into Meriken Park. The day ends with a tour of the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, where you'll learn about the history of Japan's renowned rice wine and taste a sample.
