What you can expect

  • Meet your guide at Uji Bridge, one of Japan's oldest and most iconic bridges. Begin your journey by learning about Uji's rich history while taking in beautiful views of the Uji River.

    Your first stop is Byodo-in Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Japan's most celebrated Buddhist temples. Stroll through its beautiful Pure Land Garden and visit the Byodo-in Museum Hoshokan, where you'll admire priceless Buddhist treasures and learn about the temple's history, architecture, and the iconic Phoenix Hall.

    Continue along the peaceful Ajirogi-no-Michi, a picturesque riverside path. Cross Nakajima Bridge and Asagiri Bridge while enjoying scenic views of the Uji River as your guide shares fascinating stories about Uji's history and cultural heritage.

    Next, visit Ujigami Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the oldest surviving shrine buildings in Japan. Discover the traditions of Shinto, learn the proper way to worship at a shrine, and hear the story of Prince Uji no Wakiiratsuko, who is enshrined here.

    From there, follow the scenic Sawarabi-no-Michi to Chazuna Museum, surrounded by the natural beauty that has inspired visitors for centuries.

    End your tour at Chazuna Museum, where you'll discover why Uji is renowned as the home of Japan's finest green tea. Through interactive exhibits, learn about the history of Uji tea, traditional tea-making techniques, and the deep connection between tea and Japanese culture.
