Day trip from Kyoto 🍵

#japantrip
A short train ride from Kyoto, Uji is a beautiful riverside town known for its historic temples, tea ceremonies and boat trips. There are many things to do in Uji, Kyoto.

📌 Byodoin Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you may have a strange sense of deja vu when you first visit Byodoin Temple – this is because Byodoin temple features on the reverse of the Japanese 10 Yen coin.

📌 River Uji Walk, simply stunning with beautiful bridges, boats and a stunning hill landscape all around.

📌 Ujigami-jinja Shrine, much smaller in size than Byodoin Temple, Uji shrine is one of the oldest shrine in Japan and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site temple.

📌 13 Storey Pagoda / Jusanju Sekito, an iconic landmark of Uji is said to be the tallest stone pagoda in Japan.

🍦🍵Byodo-In Omotesando Street, best street for souvenir shopping and restaurants. Prime spot to get Matcha tea and Matcha tea ice cream.
