1. Chushojima Prosperity Association
The first place we visited was the restaurant ``Okobu Kitasei,'' run by Mr. Kitazawa, who served as our guide. Kelp and kelp sweets are lined up, creating a cute atmosphere. The sweets I received were very delicious!
Apparently, the restaurant transforms into a Japanese sake bar at night. I would also like to visit a sake bar at night♪

2. Yanagimachi Prosperity Association
Fushimi has a history of once flourishing as a red-light district. Some of the shops have been renovated as snack bars and bars while keeping their exteriors the same, allowing you to enjoy the atmosphere of those days.
It's interesting
3. Ryoma Dori Shopping Street
Fushimi is also known as the place associated with Ryoma. It is said that Ryoma escaped along the roof of this shopping district... This is also where the famous "Teradaya" is located. Ryoma's name was also attached to the shopping street. Here, I had matcha juice at Kamorido, a long-established tea and craft beer shop. The cool sweetness will soak into your body!

4. Main Street
Aburakake Shopping Street There is a Japanese confectionery shop, Surugaya Honten, on the main street where the daimyo procession passed. Enjoy yokan while listening to the story of the 11th generation maker.
The inside of the store is decorated with trophies from the National Industrial Exhibition of the Meiji period, and we were able to discover a new charm of Fushimi that has been passed down through the ages.
It tastes even better when you eat it after knowing the history!
summary
After this, I also visited Nayacho Shopping District, Furoyamachi Shopping District, and Otesuji Shopping District.
The secret to the fun of Fushimi Shichi Shopping Street is that they all have unique names and origins!
We also tried melon bread from a long-established store, eel rolls from a river fish specialty store, tempura grill, sushi...it was a very satisfying food tour.
What did you think. Fushimi's shopping street is full of fun. The appeal of shopping streets is that you can hear directly from the owners. Must listen!
Please come and visit Fushimi to taste, hear, and feel! And please try to find your favorite!
May your travels be filled with wonderful experiences.
