    Kyoto Miyadushi Kokubun 123
    The Amanohashidate Winery makes its own wine from grapes they cultivate in vineyards looking out on Amanohashidate. Guests enjoy wine tastings and a lunch buffet featuring handmade dishes with plenty of local ingredients. Their original white wine soft serve ice cream comes recommended, as does their Baby Wine, like a sparkling wine in the process of fermenting that you can only drink there. You could only get such flavors at a winery.

    系列の宿に宿泊し、その時頂いたワインも購入したくて訪れました。宿から無料クーポンを貰っていたので白ワインソフトクリームを建物裏のぶどう畑に面したテラスで味わいました。後味にふんわりワインの香りがする美味でした。 コロナ禍だからか(?)テイスティングやガイドツアーをやってないというのが残念でした。天橋立駅周辺の観光スポットから離れているのでわざわざ足を運んだビジターばかりなのに少しサービスに欠けるか...

    海外からの学生団体を案内しました。無料ですし、大型バスも駐車できるので、事前に予約をお願いして訪問。外国語の対応はナシなので、同行者が通訳しながら進みました。工場見学としては一般的なものですが、コカコーラブランドは海外の若者にも人気のようで、出口のショップでノベルティ商品を買う姿も多く見られました。個人グループでも団体でもとりあえず無料なので、良いと思います。

    ホームページを見て、電話で予約をして車で行きました。最寄駅の山陰本線「吉富駅」からも割とありそうですが、徒歩圏内だと思います。 京都市内のゴチャゴチャした環境とは全く違います。工場がポツーンとある感じです。かといって周りに牛はいません。この工場で使われる原乳は、近隣や九州からのもありますが、北海道から船便で舞鶴港経由で来るものが多いそうです。 そんな話や雪印メグミルク牛乳(←少し高めの美味しい牛...

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
