Uji Museum: Tea-making machine display: Fukujuen

I visited in mid-November.

I wanted to have a Kyoto-esque experience with a friend from Hokkaido, so I went to Fukujuen.

I discovered the Uji Museum at the back of the tea shop (shop) on the first floor!

The tea-making machines were also shown with videos, so even first-time visitors could understand.

There were also pictures of Uji in the past on the walls, making this a valuable museum where you can learn about Uji in general.

By the way, there are two Fukujuen locations around Uji Station, but the one I visited this time was "Fukujuen Uji Tea Workshop."
