Stroll along the stylish Uji River banks, immersing yourself in the charm of blooming cherry blossoms and the rich literary history, complemented by the soothing fragrance of tea. Uji harbors two world heritage sites, including the opulent Byodo-in Phoenix Hall, featured on the 10-yuan coin, and the oldest shrine in Japan, Ujikami Shrine, both accessible at your own expense.
