Uji, the City of Matcha, a Poem by the Riverbank.

I thought the Kamo River was already beautiful Until I set foot on the Uji River Only then did I realize that the river water also has its poetic charm A zero-cost tour around this city Just one trip to Uji And you'll know this place is not just for matcha Where it's less crowded, the greenery is lush Peaceful times need no filter Spend a day wandering around Nara, Osaka, Kyoto and nearby areas Uji is also worth savoring slowly All along the way Tasting every step From Osaka to Uji, it takes one and a half hours From Kyoto to Uji, it's just twenty-six minutes (by JR Nara Line) Play on both the east and west banks of the Uji River Starting from the east bank Nakamura Tokichi Main Store Just a step away from Uji JR Line station A century-old shop Avoid the peak dining hours Must-try matcha soba noodles and shiratama dumplings Byodo-in Omotesando A street full of matcha shops Matcha ice cream Matcha soba noodles Matcha dumpling threads Eight hundred stomachs would not be enough Starbucks Byodo-in Omotesando Store Coffee in the courtyard with a local matcha flavor Byodo-in One of the charged attractions in Uji Experience the beauty of the World Heritage Site's garden Uji Bridge One of Japan's three ancient bridges Built in 646 The rapids under the Uji River are no less beautiful than the Kamo River Nakanoshima Tachibana Island Tachibanajima The best spots for cherry blossom viewing by the Uji River Walking in Uji Let your soul flow with the river In this city of matcha Every step is a poem Every sip is a song
