2025 Uji Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

#2024 TRAVEL REVIEW #Must go in this life #Kyoto #Museum #Mario #Game 🎴This museum not only displays the footprints of Nintendo’s century-old history, but also has a rich and diverse interactive experience area! The "Nintendo Kokura Factory" was established in 1969. It was once the production base for Hanafuda, trading cards and early game consoles. In 2016, the production tasks were transferred to the new factory, and we began to discuss how to make good use of this building, which played a decisive role in the development history of Nintendo. Later, it was planned to be the Nintendo Museum that is about to open now. As a Nintendo fan since childhood, of course I have to make a pilgrimage! 🎴The first step is to buy a ticket! You need to register on the official website three months in advance, so you plan to visit in December and register before the end of September, and pay on the official website after the ticket purchase results are announced (the ticket price is 3300 yen), otherwise the ticket will be cancelled! If you really forget, tickets will be released the day before, so you can try your luck on the official website. Remember to bring your ID when entering! 🎴A very important point! Remember to log in with your official Nintendo account when buying tickets and draw a cute portrait of yourself! Make your ticket unique~ 🎴 Next is transportation. The Nintendo Museum is located at Kokura Station. If you come from Kyoto Station, take the Kintetsu Kyoto Line from "Kintetsu Kyoto Station" towards Nara. Don't be like me and can't find it in a JR station. car. Kokura Station is quite simple. On the way back, I tried to catch a taxi on the road but there were no taxis at all. 🎴After entering the Nintendo Museum, the first thing you see at the door is the classic Super Mario scene, and Nintendo elements can be seen everywhere, perfect score for cuteness! What few people notice is that there is a signature of Mario's father "Miyamoto" on the wall after entering the museum. Big fans must take a photo. Thank you for bringing so many fun games to this world! 🎴The excitement begins when you enter the exhibition hall on the second floor. Here is the complete history of Nintendo's development, from its original products, Hanafuda, toys, to previous generations of consoles and games. You can’t take pictures in this building, so it’s hard to convey my feelings through words. Here you can find products from the year you were born, as well as every Nintendo game you have played since childhood. It not only reviews the history of Nintendo, but also reviews me. Most of my life. 🎴Back on the first floor is the interactive game area. You will be given 10 gold coins in the ticket. The gold coins deducted for each game are different. The classic game I just saw on the second floor can now be played immediately. It takes me back to the elementary school student in one second. From the interactive game area, we can see Nintendo’s spirit of inheriting classics and actively innovating. Not forgetting its roots, the products "Hanafuda" and "Ultra Hand" that were started back then were turned into interactive games using new technologies. In a game with a huge joystick, you can experience one person operating half of the joystick, and it’s easy to quarrel with your partner, which may be part of the fun :D 🎴Finally, there is the commemorative product area. Although at first I thought it was a bit boring and lacking in design to just print the game console on a T-shirt or mug, but I later discovered that the must-buy product is actually a towel. Nintendo once again used "Hanafuda" and Elements of Mario's classic character are combined into patterns inspired by Kyoto's traditional fabrics. Now when I take out the small towel every day, I will think back to that wonderful afternoon at the Nintendo Museum😍

#2024 TRAVEL REVIEW #KYOTO TRAVEL #nintendo #KYOTO TRAVEL GUIDE The Nintendo Museum has just opened in October 2024, and tickets are very difficult to buy. Thanks to my friends for grabbing tickets, which allowed me to return to my youthful black and white childhood. People who like Nintendo must go and taste the sense of the times💕 🎫Tickets: There are now two types of tickets, buying them directly or making an appointment to draw lots, but basically the tickets have been sold out in the past three months. Of course, you can also check out the official website every day. The ticket price is 3,300 yen. 🚗Transportation: It is really a remote place. You can’t even call a taxi on the way back. Go to Kyoto Station and go directly to Kokura Station. There is a museum route map at the exit of Kokura Station. It is very close to the subway station. Note that there are only various stations in Kokura Station. You can only get there by subway that stops, don’t take the express 😅 🎮Your reservation time and QR code will be shown before entering the park. After swiping your card to enter, you will enter the exhibition area. Game console works of the past, as well as the stories behind them and related card games and accessories are all available. Photography is not allowed on this floor of the history museum. , anyone who loves Nintendo will understand🥰 🕹️There are so many people in the experience center that we have to queue up. Because we went in after 4 pm for a very late session, I guess there will be a lot less people. In fact, people who don’t like Nintendo in general will probably find it boring, because it is a company that doesn’t know how to market itself. , and I don’t love money that much 😂 so I won’t take off your wallet when I go in~ ✔️Don’t have the illusion of Universal Studios. It’s just parasitism among experts who are good at creating amusement parks. If you do it yourself, you’ll be very happy! ! 🌟As for restaurants and shopping, I think they are very ordinary. Maybe I didn’t see the popular blind boxes or limited editions (snatch them up), otherwise I would be very dumbfounded if T-shirts or mugs were printed with the names of various generations of consoles🙄 Let me Save money ✔️The conclusion is that those who love it will be moved. If you go to Kyoto or if you can grab a ticket, go and see the latest and most popular Nintendo Museum. However, the experience is very disappointing, especially there is nothing to tie together nearby (Uji? …….)

#100 Ways to Travel Kyoto trip~ "Wander through the lush green ancient capital and enjoy the beauty of the ancient capital's wabi-sabi" The stage for the 2024 NHK Taiga drama "To the Lord of Light" is in "Uji"! ! In addition to being the "Hometown of Matcha" and the World Cultural Heritage "Byodo-in", Uji also has the oldest shrine in Japan ⛩️ "Ujigami Shrine" which is also one of the must-visit attractions~ Let me tell you about it! ! A brief talk on history ~ The oldest shrine enshrines the first emperor who committed suicide ~ It was built in 313 and is dedicated to a deity named "Tadao Zhilangzi". It can mainly pray for "exams" and "safe childbirth". In Japan during the Heian period🇯🇵, there was an emperor named "Emperor Ogami" who had two sons named "Tadaichi Chiroko no Mikoto" and "Oikawa Mikoto". The former was the younger brother and the latter was the elder brother. Both heirs were humble. Wanting the other party to serve as emperor leaves Japan without a leader for a three-year window! After the request failed, the younger brother decided to commit suicide so that his elder brother could inherit the throne and become "Emperor Nintoku".

The legend of "The Turning Rabbit" (God's Envoy's のみかえり兎). There is a special way of worshiping at Uji Shrine where this ancient legend is spread - first, write your wishes on a rabbit-e horse, then make a wish to the rabbit in front of the main shrine, and then circle the main shrine three times in a clockwise direction with the ema. . It is said that if three rabbits are found during this period, the wish will come true. 3. If you like the rabbit 🐰-shaped ema, the shape and the royal seal, buy it! ! Some styles are seasonal or daily limited. 4.

#100 Ways to Travel As a matcha lover, the first thing I thought of was Uji or Shizuoka. I happened to buy a cheap flight ticket to Kansai, so I decided to take this trip🧳 Uji Station is less than 30 minutes’ drive from Kyoto Station. There are attractions such as Byodo-in Temple, Uji Shrine, and Uji River nearby to visit, and there are also many authentic Uji Matcha teas to eat! One of the most recommended is Nakamura Tokichi! After eating it, I felt really good👍🏻I recommend it to everyone!

#japantrip A short train ride from Kyoto, Uji is a beautiful riverside town known for its historic temples, tea ceremonies and boat trips. There are many things to do in Uji, Kyoto. 📌 Byodoin Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you may have a strange sense of deja vu when you first visit Byodoin Temple – this is because Byodoin temple features on the reverse of the Japanese 10 Yen coin. 📌 River Uji Walk, simply stunning with beautiful bridges, boats and a stunning hill landscape all around. 📌 Ujigami-jinja Shrine, much smaller in size than Byodoin Temple, Uji shrine is one of the oldest shrine in Japan and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site temple. 📌 13 Storey Pagoda / Jusanju Sekito, an iconic landmark of Uji is said to be the tallest stone pagoda in Japan. 🍦🍵Byodo-In Omotesando Street, best street for souvenir shopping and restaurants. Prime spot to get Matcha tea and Matcha tea ice cream. #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #japan #japankyoto #japantrip #art_of_japan_ #100waysoftravel #cherryblossom2024

Take the Keihan Electric Railway to Uji, and before going to visit #Byodo-in Temple, take a short detour along the other side of the Uji River, and you can go to #Ujigami Shrine and #Uji Shrine nearby, as well as the #Genji Monogatari Museum. These scenic spots are not big. It is quite pleasant to walk along the Uji River and Daikiyama trails to feel the breath of the green mountains and forests. You can also overlook the Byodo-in Temple across the river bank, which gives you a unique feeling of leisure. Although Ujigami Shrine is small and ancient, it is listed as a World Cultural Heritage and has the oldest shrine building in Japan. Like Uji Shrine, it has cute rabbit ema and red seals. The most beautiful angle for taking photos is the short section of maple forest trail leading from the torii gate to the stone bridge of the shrine. Decorated with fresh green maple leaves, the whole person feels refreshed. On the Uji River side of Byodo-in Temple, there are quite a few shops selling all kinds of Uji matcha products, as well as a beautiful Starbucks. However, everyone seems to go to #中村多吉 and drink matcha in the first row with the river view, which is quite nice! #JapanTandian #Ujiattractions #Uji上神社 #Uji神社 #Byodoinin #matcha

The most famous attraction in Uji is the #Byodo-in Temple, which specializes in large-scale blockbusters, especially the #Phoenix Hall that stands on the island in the middle of the lake. It houses the seated statue of Amida Tathagata. It is modeled after the palace in Paradise, with vermilion carved beams and painted pillars, presenting a luxurious and magnificent palace. Pure land world. A pair of gold and bronze phoenixes stand on both ends of the eaves of the nave, wanting to fly high, hence the name Phoenix Hall. Byodo-in is a representative building of the Heian period in Japan. The 10-yen yen note is engraved with Byodo-in, and the phoenix on the 10,000-yen bill is the same phoenix on the roof, which shows the importance of Byodo-in. The entire Byodo-in Temple is mainly composed of the island in the middle of the lake, the Phoenix Hall, the garden, and the Phoenix Pavilion. The route goes around the lake. You can stay for about an hour to walk around and take photos. The lake reflects the reflection of the Phoenix Hall, and the sea of ​​trees on both sides, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, makes it impossible to leave without taking 100 photos. Finally, leave half an hour to visit the Phoenix Hall. The admission fee for Byodo-in Temple is ¥700. To visit the Phoenix Hall, you need to purchase an additional ¥300 ticket. Each escalator is limited to 50 people, and each escalator lasts 20 minutes. The tour guide is in Japanese, and photos are not allowed inside. It is recommended that after entering Byodo-in Temple, you can go to the ticket office on the right to reserve a guided tour of the Phoenix Hall in one hour. The visit time will be printed on the ticket. After taking pictures of the exterior and garden of Phoenix Hall, it will be easier to visit inside without wasting time waiting. Finally, we can visit the indoor Fengxiang Pavilion to see the national treasures and enjoy the air-conditioning (photography is not allowed inside the pavilion). The Fengxiang Pavilion is a museum built in the later period. It is a building with an above-ground glass structure and underground collections. There are many national treasures in the museum. In addition to the Brahma Bell and the golden and bronze phoenix, there are 26 statues of the Bodhisattva in the Clouds, and some are listed as important. The eleven-faced statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is a cultural property. In short, I highly recommend a visit to Uji. Visit Byodo-in Temple, Ujigami Shrine or the Tale of Genji Museum, eat the famous Uji matcha, and then relax by the Uji River. The whole trip is a leisurely trip that is very close to nature. #JapanTandian #KyotoAttractions #Uji #Byodo-in Temple #Phoenix Hall #Hoho Shokan #Matcha

Our stomachs were grumbling, so we refueled with a scrumptious lunch before diving into the temple experience. Byodoin Temple, folks, is a bona fide icon of Japan. The architecture was mind-blowing, with intricate details that seemed to whisper tales of centuries past. We explored the stunning Phoenix Hall, which stood tall and proud amidst a picturesque pond. The tranquil atmosphere made it a perfect spot to reflect and find some inner peace. Visiting Byodoin Temple was one of the highlights of our Japanese escapade. It's a place that not only showcases Japan's rich history but also nourishes the soul.

On a clear autumn day, I decided to visit Uji to explore the historic and picturesque Byodo-in Temple. This place is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site but also a symbol of Japanese culture. Upon arriving in Uji, I was immediately captivated by the beauty of Byodo-in. Built in the 11th century, the temple is renowned for its exquisite architecture and surrounding natural scenery. As I walked through the main gate, the golden Phoenix Hall came into view, standing beside a serene pond and shimmering under the sunlight. In that moment, I felt a sense of timeless tranquility. Strolling through the gardens of Byodo-in, I was surrounded by cherry and maple trees that displayed different colors with the changing seasons. The autumn foliage was ablaze with vibrant reds, infusing the entire garden with life. I found a comfortable spot to sit and quietly admire the beautiful scenery, feeling a deep sense of gratitude. Next, I joined a guided tour of the temple, where the guide vividly recounted the history of Byodo-in, particularly its connection to the Heian period. Listening to these stories, I felt as if I had traveled back to that prosperous era. The guide also introduced the temple's artworks, including intricate Buddha statues and murals, which deepened my understanding of Japanese religious culture. After visiting the Phoenix Hall, I entered the tea house within Byodo-in to savor the famous Uji matcha. The rich flavor and delicate texture were indescribably delightful. The elegant setting of the tea house made me feel as if I were in a painting. As the sun set, I wandered through the gardens of Byodo-in, feeling the gentle breeze and experiencing a sense of peace and joy. This journey to Byodo-in in Uji not only allowed me to appreciate magnificent architecture and natural scenery but also gave me a profound insight into Japanese culture. As I left Byodo-in, my heart was filled with emotion and beautiful memories. I look forward to returning to this place steeped in history and art to discover more beautiful moments in the future.

Located in Uji, Byodoin Temple is the perfect place to experience Japan's ancient history and culture. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the temple itself feels like a work of art.
