    This tour of Uji was perfect! We were hoping to find a tour that would teach us a bit about the Uji history of tea, as well as history of the town and we were not disappointed. Our guide, Maru, was insightful and made our tour a lot fun. Highly recommend this for anyone staying in/ around Kyoto area who wants to see another town and wants to learn about Uji.
