Travelers staying in Kyoto can reach Harie, the "village of living water," by train to the Shin-Asahi Station. A guide will meet you at the station to take you on a walking tour of the village to learn about its "kabata" water system, which can only be seen with permission to enter a resident's home. Plus visit a local sake brewery. This tour is a great way to see more of Japan outside the city of Kyoto.
