Things to do in Uji

Our tour with Theodore was absolutely amazing! He shared so much meaningful background about the places we visited, which made the experience even more special and memorable for us. His bubbly personality was such a wonderful bonus. Highly recommend touring with him! Tour was on schedule too!

Our NIKO guide did a wonderful job on this trip. There were no recommendations for specific souvenir shops or meals, and they provided explanations of Japanese history in Chinese and English that went beyond the basics, so nothing was neglected. Although there were seniors and children together, we moved on time without any inconvenience or delays. The majority of the tourists were Taiwanese families, but there were also some Koreans, Indians, and Americans. I recommend this trip.

I really enjoyed this day trip. Locke was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and great at keeping the group organized. He shared clear explanations in both English and Chinese and always made sure everyone knew where to go next. He also helped take photos at each spot, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great experience, and I’d happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto.

This is a worthwhile trip to Nara and Kyoto. You could choose to visit Nara, Kyoto, Kobe/Himeji, Shiga, and Wakayama separately, but there is an advantage to seeing two heritage sites at once. Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Todaiji Temple, Byodo-in Temple, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are all World Heritage sites and are wonderful places to visit again and again. Thank you to veteran guide Jeon Yun-cheol, and thank you to the Japanese driver of the large bus for safe driving and a schedule that was appropriate for the time allotted.

This experience was a highlight of our Japan trip. From start to finish, we truly enjoyed the whole day. Our guide, Ako was awesome! We learned so much about shrines, temples, and of course matcha tea! This is an experience worth booking to get the most out of a day in Uji.

a lovely experience overall! the lessons we were taught about the history of tea in Japan and how to properly host and serve tea, as well as taking us down a wonderful history lesson of Japan, it was nothing short of wonderful. my friends and I had an awesome time and the atmosphere was silent and beautiful. highly recommend! equipment: 5 experience: 5 instructor: 5 (if I could give a 10 I would)
