Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum

The Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum houses over 6,000 artifacts related to sake production, displaying 400 items including traditional tools and historical brewing equipment.

The museum building, constructed in 1909 as an operating brewery, preserves the industrial architecture of the Meiji period and contains tools designated as Tangible Folk Cultural Properties.

Exhibitions detail the centuries-old sake brewing methods of Fushimi, where pure groundwater and cold winters create conditions for traditional fermentation techniques.

Located five minutes from Keihan Chushojima Station, the museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM and provides sake tasting sessions in the lobby area.

Visitors can sample water from a 50-meter deep well used in sake production and receive a 180ml bottle of sake with their admission ticket.
