The main thing I did on Day 6 was… Go to Uji for a couple of hours. lol
Uji is about 20-30 minutes from Kyoto en route to Nara. Length of time depends on whether you take the local or rapid trains (both covered by the JR Pass). I think I took the local train. Anyway, Uji is known for green tea, and for being featured in the famous Tale of Genji. Clearly they’re proud of that fact, as the signboard at the station names it The Town of the Tale of Genji.
Here’s a map of where I went in Uji:
- Byodoin Omotesando (street leading up to Byodoin)
- Byodoin
- Ujigami Shrine
- Tale of Genji Museum
Green indicates my walking path up until Byodoin. Dark pink is my path after Byodoin.
