All about Osaka. Sake Breweries Kyoto. Momoyama is located in the southernmost hills of the Higashiyama Mountains in southern Kyoto, with the Uji-gawa River to the south. Momoyama developed as an important strategic point for land and river transportation connecting Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Fushimi Castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a famous warrior of the 16th century; however, it was torn down twenty years later by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan. Afterwards, many peach trees were planted in the ruins of the castle, and thus the hills came to be known as Momoyama, or "Peach Hills. " People pray at Fushimi-inari-taisha Shrine for success in business, good luck and better skills. Since ancient times, Fushimi has been blessed with high quality spring water from the Momoyama hills, and thus is known for Japanese sake (rice wine) brewing.
