About Uji
Uji is a tea town on a river south of Kyoto, with the Phoenix Hall of Byodoin, a Tale of Genji museum and centuries of matcha-growing.
Uji stands on the Uji River in southern Kyoto Prefecture, a town of tea merchants and old temples between Kyoto and Nara. Byodoin, a temple whose Phoenix Hall dates from 1053, mirrors its graceful wings in a pond and is part of the UNESCO Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Across the river, Ujigami Shrine has one of the oldest surviving shrine buildings in Japan.
