The city
What to expect from Uji.
Uji lies south of Kyoto on the banks of the Uji River and is Japan’s green tea country. It has two World Heritage sites: Byodo-in, whose Phoenix Hall is reflected in a pond, and Ujigami Shrine, the oldest shrine in the country. The streets by the river have teahouses and matcha shops, and the city is the setting for the final chapters of The Tale of Genji.
