[2025 Uji Attraction] Travel Guide for Uji Shrine (Updated Mar)

I went to Ujikami Shrine, which has the world's oldest Shinto architecture⛩ The main hall was built in the late Heian period and is registered as a World Heritage Site🌏 In the precincts, one of the seven famous springs of Uji, Kirihara Water, springs out! Some of the goshuin are written in gold, so if you have a goshuin book, it's a must-see💫 It's within walking distance from the station, so if you get off at Uji Station, be sure to stop by🥰 There are few slopes, so it's also recommended for families with children🌼 #Kyoto #Amazing views #Secret summer resort #Uji #Summer trip #Amazing views #Trip with children #Japan Genki Project 2021

Kyoto Uji. There are so many green tea related foods and desserts! Not only the food, but it's also a small town in Kyoto, so it's quiet for a tourist destination and has a Japanese atmosphere like something straight out of a comic book. Especially, that matcha shaved ice was the most delicious shaved ice I've ever had. I recommend it😆😆 #Japan #Kyoto #Matcha #MatchaRestaurant #UjiTravel

Uji City can be reached in about 30 minutes by train from Kyoto City. It is a Uji God (similar to an earth god or a local guardian deity) shrine widely believed by the locals in Uji. Because it is dedicated to the god Emperor Tsudomichiroko, the Uji Shrine located in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, is a mysterious and simple atmosphere. The shrine is famous for its patron saint of rabbits. The unique culture and beautiful environment here attract many tourists and believers to come to worship. The rabbit patron saint of Uji Shrine symbolizes wit and agility and is regarded as a symbol of good luck and protection. Entering the shrine gate, you can see various statues and decorations of rabbit images. These cute rabbit images add a lot of life and interest to the shrine. Especially the "white rabbit statues" inside the shrine. It is said that touching these rabbits will bring luck and blessings. #Uji神社 #Rabbit Guardian Angel #KYOTO TRAVEL #LUCK #Natural Beauty #History and Culture #Japanese Myth #Sakura Season #Maple Leaf Season #Travel Recommendation Come to Uji Shrine, feel the blessing of the rabbit guardian angel, and enjoy this ancient divine realm full of aura! 🐇⛩️🌸

When it comes to Uji in Kyoto, people first think of matcha. Although it is known as the world-famous hometown of matcha, in fact, Uji's charm is not only matcha. ⭕The Byodo-in Temple, built in the 11th century, was named a "World Cultural Heritage" for its well-preserved architecture, paintings, crafts, and sculpture art. The most important building is the Phoenix Hall, which enshrines the Amitabha Buddha and 52 bodhisattva statues in the clouds. The design on the back of the 10 yen coin is the Phoenix Hall, while the design on the back of the 10,000 yen note is the golden bronze phoenix statue set at the north and south ends of the central hall roof. In addition, there is a museum called the "Ho-o-do Museum" that specializes in exhibiting cultural relics of the Byodo-in Temple. ⭕Every year in mid-to-late April, the wisteria flowers in the grounds of Byodoin Temple bloom. In the gentle morning breeze, the light and shadow sway, exuding a romantic early summer atmosphere. ⭕Coming out of Byodoin Temple, continue along the Uji River to reach Uji Shrine and Uji Shrine. These two shrines have cute 🐰 figures everywhere. It is said that when the prince Tadamitsu Wakairatsuko (うじのわきいらつこ), who was one of the gods, moved to Uji, he unfortunately got lost, but fortunately met a white rabbit who showed him the way. This white rabbit was regarded as a messenger sent by the gods to guide people towards the right path. It is worth mentioning that Uji Shrine is the oldest surviving shrine in Japan. ⭕Continue forward from the shrine and you will arrive at Fudesan (Daijisan). ⛰️Not very high, with an altitude of only 131 meters, it is very suitable for hiking. The surrounding environment is lush with vegetation, and from the observation deck you can overlook the entire city of Uji. 🚞Transportation: Departing from Osaka: Take the Keihan Uji Line and get off at Uji Station.
