Kyoto has various traditional elements of Japanese culture and way of life, such as the jikkokubune, a flat-bottomed boat that transported goods like rice and sake between Kyoto and Osaka during the Edo period until the late Meiji era. Nowadays, the jikkokubune boats are utilized as cruises for tourists to appreciate the changing seasons.
