Begin your day with a visit to the iconic Byodo-in Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its elegant Phoenix Hall. Explore the lush gardens and the tranquil surroundings that have inspired poets and artists for centuries.
Delve into the world of Uji's tea heritage taking part in an optional tea ceremony and tasting a cup of local tea.
We will share the significance of Uji's tea culture, providing insights into the timeless art of tea-making. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or a traveller seeking cultural enrichment, this tour promises an authentic and enlightening experience.
Rain, shine, or a bit of both— our walking tours still go on!
VERY IMPORTANT: The tea ceremony is an optional experience, separate from the walking tour, and therefore not its core. Furthermore, please note that it cannot be confirmed at the time of booking and is therefore subject to the tea house's availability on that day. The Travel Storyteller will confirm the tea ceremony's availability to participants a few days before the tour.
