Ujitawara in southern Kyoto Prefecture is a tranquil town famed as one of Japan's green tea birthplaces. Its core allure lies in Uji tea culture and terraced fields scenery, offering authentic tea ceremonies amidst historic plantations.
Must-see spots include Oku-no-Tanen rice terraces, Yuyadani Onsen, and centuries-old tea farms. Learn tea processing at the Tea Museum or join matcha workshops. Spring brings breathtaking cherry blossoms over emerald tea fields.
Savor fresh matcha desserts and tea soba noodles, with parfaits at traditional tea houses being iconic. Unique tea-infused cuisine and Kyoto-style yudofu (tofu hotpot) are local specialties.
From Kyoto Station, take JR Nara Line to Uji Station (~30min), then transfer to a bus (~20min). Walking/bike rentals suffice within town, with some sights requiring community buses. Kyoto Bus Pass is cost-effective.
Best in April-May for mild weather and vibrant tea fields, or October-November for autumn foliage. Avoid humid rainy season in July-August.
Japanese is primary; stations have basic English signs. IC cards (e.g. ICOCA) work in cities but cash dominates locally. Limited free WiFi - prepaid SIM recommended. Emergency: 110 (police)/119 (ambulance). Pharmacies cluster downtown, mostly closed Sundays.
