  • Perfect Honeymoon Excursion in Uji

    Evan V,Apr 28, 2026

    Incredible bike trip through all of the sites of Uji. Fantastic, very knowledgeable guide who took lots of photos for us during our trip! He took us to a lot of sites we wouldn’t have known to go to. The bikes were so easy to ride and so fun — this was the best part of our time in Kyoto and helped make our honeymoon so special.

  • The tea is delicious.

    I went to Uji many times, but it was a very educational tour with so many places I didn’t know!

  • ★★★★ We joined a tour of about 12km by bike from 10am to 3pm. It was a very fulfilling time because I was able to travel around a lot of places efficiently even in a short time because I was on a bicycle. You can also visit the standard spots such as Uji Shrine and Byodoin Phoenix Hall,

    ★★★★★ From 10am to 3pm, we joined a tour of about 12km by bike. It was a very fulfilling time because I was able to travel around a lot of places efficiently even in a short time because I was on a bicycle. I was able to visit the usual spots such as Uji Shrine and Byodo-in Temple Phoenix Hall, and enjoyed the city of Uji with the ease of a bicycle. One of the most impressive exhibits was the history and production method of tea in Chazunade. Our guide Takashi explained in great detail, and I was able to get to the background which I couldn't understand just by looking at it. Lunch was served at a restaurant along the river, with a nice view and a very pleasant time. At teatime, I also had a soft serve ice cream made with specially selected roasted matcha tea, which smelled really good and was excellent. I went to Amagase Dam on the way, but it was a very quiet and pleasant place with very few tourists. It was comfortable in the right climate for cycling, with lots of shade along the way. Brompton's stylish bicycles are also very nice and photogenic. This tour is highly recommended so that you can fully enjoy the charms of Uji in a short time.

    This tour is recommended for those who think Uji is one of the famous cities for tea. It made me realize that matcha has such a deep and long history, and it changed my view of Uji. The lunch shop is nice too! It was hideaway and tasted good. The guides had a deep knowledge of the subject and enjoyed it.

  • A fun walk in Uji at Brompton

    Half day participation, but avoid the crowds We made it run efficiently. Matcha Cafe for lunch is a hideaway Salad with matcha dressing and Roasted green tea (not roasted tea), aure, croissants sandwiches from Ratatouille, a menu that was a little different from other places. Koshoji Temple is famous as a famous temple of the Soto sect, but there are also highlights related to tea I enjoyed it. It goes without saying that Hoo-Dang, the 49-year-old Byodoin, I can see it without an upcharge. Hoshokan (Treasure Museum) is an interesting place to visit for many Bodhisattva greets you in various poses Yes, please. Forty-seven forty-five forty-seven forty-four forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-six forty-seven forty-seven forty-six forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-six forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-six forty-six forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven forty-seven.

    A leisurely cycling tour around the theme of "tea" 🚲 From the role played by the water of the Uji River, the history of Uji loved by the Heian aristocracy, to Japanese culture including the tea ceremony. I enjoyed it while admiring the depth of the guide's knowledge! Cycling along the Uji River was the most pleasant.
