Things to do in Uji

Highly recommended! Our tour guide Anson was friendly, informative, and made the trip fun and enjoyable. Our driver was very careful, professional, and always prioritized our safety. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire journey. Thank you for making our trip such a wonderful experience!

I booked the day before scheduled trip, everything was smooth from ontime pickup to drop off. I highly appreciate our tour guide Noa, very responsive and even prepared trivias, restaurant recommendations along the manageable itinerary. its a self guided but timed and manageable tour time for each stop. The bus driver is also commendable for his smooth and easy ride. As a matcha lover, my favorite part was Uji. I was able to try different kinds of matcha flavored foods, tea and drinks. 🍵💚

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

Today we had the pleasure of having Ms. Yurika as our guide, and the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided clear and engaging explanations about the history of the places we visited. Throughout the day, Ms. Yurika demonstrated outstanding professionalism, kindness, and dedication. She remained attentive to the group at all times, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and well-informed. Her detailed explanations of the customs and traditions of each temple made the experience even more meaningful and enriching. She was always willing to help and made sure all our needs were met, which made us feel truly cared for. Thanks to her enthusiasm and knowledge, the tour was not only informative but also very enjoyable. My family and I had an amazing time, and this experience will remain unforgettable for us. We sincerely appreciate Ms. Yurika for her time and dedication in making this day so special. Thank you very much, Ms. Yurika

Our day trip to Nara and Uji was such a peaceful and beautiful experience 🌿⛩️ In Nara, seeing the friendly deer roaming freely around the park made the visit so unique and memorable. The atmosphere was calm, surrounded by nature and historic temples. Then in Uji, it felt like stepping into a quieter side of Japan. The streets were charming, and the matcha there was truly the best I’ve ever had—so rich and authentic. A perfect mix of nature, culture, and amazing matcha. Definitely a must-visit near Kyoto 💚

I just returned from a wonderful Tokyo bus tour today, and I'd love to go again! It was crowded with so many people, but thanks to our lovely guide, Ruri, it was a delightful trip! I really admired her ability to speak three languages. She explained everything so well and gave us great restaurant recommendations in advance, so we enjoyed delicious meals without any hassle. She also took beautiful photos for us and was incredibly kind! On the way back, she even recommended a restaurant for dinner, making the entire experience perfect from start to finish. Thank you so much!

Eri was amazing! The tour felt so immersive and we highly recommend everyone to make a special day for Uji and join the tour too! group size: 4 guide: Eri is super friendly and helpful! breaks:great with breaks when needed. attractions on the way:There was no boring moments!!

totally enjoyed this experience! love matcha so there’s no way I wouldn’t love the experience first hand with my favorite tea. Our tour guide Jun is amazing, he made sure to not get everyone bored with his jokes and singing. Just off from my bucket list.

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)
