Centered on the Uji River, a river with a history of more than a thousand years,
Not only is the scenery beautiful,
It also has a world heritage site
Rich historical and cultural resources such as "Ujikami Shrine" and "Byodoin Temple". Sometimes it is a stage for war, sometimes it is a cultural center, following the footsteps of Japanese history until today.
Ancient monuments can be seen everywhere in the city, and the atmosphere of that era can still be felt today. It is like entering a time tunnel, tempting you to go back to the past and experience history and culture.
World Heritage - #BetweenInn Phoenix Hall is a touching building depicted on the Japanese 10 yen coin and 10,000 yen banknote.
Although this place has experienced many wars in the past few centuries, Amida Hall has miraculously survived, and the Buddha statues, paintings and gardens from the prosperous period of Heian aristocratic culture in the 11th century have been preserved.
Uji is known as a famous tea producing area, and people who visit Uji will definitely enjoy sweets made with matcha. "Matcha" is now famous all over the world. Why not go to Uji, the place of origin, to enjoy matcha desserts?
Representative stores: #中村多吉本店, #ITōKyuemonjrUjiekimae store, ITOKyuemon main store, etc.

I saw many foreign tourists trying the drinks in Uji that day.

The store owner asked me to try this drink.

Amazing
No nasal discharge
Not spicy either
I suggest you try it at the store first.
I took it directly back to Taiwan.
The Kyoto Brew beer I drank at the restaurant last year is also highly recommended.
