When traveling to Kyoto, it is recommended to take a day trip to Uji. You can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere in about 30 minutes by car. The history of Byodoin Temple, the Phoenix, and the restoration of the murals are all spectacular. After a tiring walk, enjoy matcha desserts and hot tea. Nakamura Tokichi’s desserts are even more delicious than you’d expect. They include dango, cake, fresh cream, and ice cream. The flavors are diverse and every bite gives you a different feeling. Uji, a great place to calm your mind! #Uji #Matcha #Betweenin Phoenix Hall
