Ujigami Shrine: Our most recommended tours and activities

Private Day Tour in Kyoto & Uji: Delightful Shrine & Matcha

Private Day Tour in Kyoto & Uji: Delightful Shrine & Matcha

In the morning, our professional driver will meet you at the door of your hotel to start your journey. Kyoto is one of the oldest cities in Japan, and as the ancient capital in Japanese history, it carries a rich cultural heritage, with more than 2,000 temples and shrines, including 17 stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Here, you can feel the charm of traditional Japanese culture. First we will visit the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, where a long corridor of thousands of Torii Shrine gates, a bright red tunnel along the mountain path, is an amazing experience. If we have enough time, we will head to the Sanjusangendo, a less tourist-hit treasure spot that is the longest wooden structure in Japan and houses a stunning collection of 1,001 golden Guanyin statues. In the afternoon, we will head to Uji. Uji City, located in the southern part of Japan's Kyoto Prefecture, is an ancient city steeped in history and cultural essence. It is famous for its World Heritage sites - Ujigami Shrine and Uji Shrine, and is also the cradle of Japanese tea ceremony art, and is honored as the "Tea capital of Japan". The Uji Bridge, which spans Uji River, is not only a landmark of the city, but also an elegant link between the scenery on both sides. Located next to the Uji Shrine, the Ujigami Shrine worships the patron saint of Japanese tea culture, making it an important shrine for exploring the spirit of Japanese tea ceremony. The Byodoin Temple, as a model of the architectural art of the Heian Period, has a dignified and solemn sitting statue of Amida Buddha, and the Phoenix Hall is the focus of photography enthusiasts. Uji Park is a combination of natural beauty and human landscape, whether it is the blooming of cherry blossoms in spring, or the burning of red leaves in autumn, the seasons are different. In Uji City, visitors can not only taste authentic matcha desserts and exquisite Japanese tea banquet, such as Uji Matcha ice cream, matcha cake and other world-famous delicacies, but also see the charm of traditional crafts such as Uji Yaki and Uji tea sets, which are treasures during the trip. At this point, our trip will come to an end and we will return to Kyoto. If you have enough time, we will first head to the Nishiki Market, a narrow market located in the center of the city, where you will experience a variety of traditional food, but also can buy exquisite hand gifts. If there is little time left, we will take you to the antique Sannenzake and Ninenzake, then walk to the famous Geisha area - Gion District, where you can hanging around until the evening and enjoy the rich Japanese culture. Our trip will also end here, and we hope you will have good memories.
