Uji is a small city situated between Kyoto and Nara, a city in southern Kyoto Prefecture, especially famous for its temples and shrines. Featuring two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the town is surrounded by forested hills, with the Uji River passing through the city. Amongst the top city’s attractions is the Uji-Bashi Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Japan that have been rebuilt numerous times. Other great attractions are the Byodoin Temple, one of two World Heritage sites, famous for its spectacular Phoenix Hall, and Ujigami Shrine, a guardian shrine for the Byodo-in Temple built with a simple Shinto architecture that expresses a deep reverence for nature.
