Daikichiyama Observation Deck

Love matcha? I have the perfect day trip for you from Osaka city, Kyoto city or even Nara city! And yes, it's totally doable!! Join us and take yourself into the unbeaten path. Visit the birthplace city of the famous classic, "Tale of Genji".

Kyoto is a beautiful place. But everybody knows it, so it can get pretty crowded. Here are my tips for having a food-focussed journey without contributing to the problems of overtourism.

Spend a day in Uji, just 20 minutes from the centre of Kyoto City. Enjoy a relaxing time in the beautiful nature of the Uji Hills. Visit Unesco World Heritage Sites, a movie location, royal tombs, and a temple hidden away in the woodlands. Uji, get away from the city and visit the home of The Tale of Genji, matcha, and so much more in this indepth guide to Uji (this guide includes text, images, map, videos, and links to other videos and information form the author (Phillip Jackson - HIDDEN PATHS - Walking Historical Kyoto)).
