A leisurely walk through Uji is one of the most peaceful ways to experience this charming town just outside Kyoto. Strolling along the Uji River, I was surrounded by scenic bridges, gentle flowing water, and lush greenery—perfect for a relaxing escape from the city crowds. The path leads to historic gems like the Byodo-In Temple, a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site, and inviting tea houses offering the region’s famous matcha. Whether you’re sipping green tea by the riverside or exploring quiet backstreets, Uji is the perfect place for a slow, refreshing city walk with a touch of culture and nature.
