[Spring Highlights]
Kyoto's most famous cherry blossom spot! A sea of blossoms stretches 1.4 kilometers, formed by 220 cherry trees, offering a breathtaking natural view. This is an excellent place to view cherry blossoms, and you can enjoy magnificent scenery at the confluence of three rivers—the Uji River, the Kizu River, and the Katsura River.
In addition, you can participate in a variety of fun activities, such as the "Cherry Blossom Market" with its food stalls, and rides on the "Cherry Blossom Encounter Cruise" and the "Hanami-fune E-Boat." Uji is famous for its matcha sweets and old streets, and you can also visit Katsuo-ji Temple, make a wish, and see the Katsuo-Dama-no-Tamari Falls, a famous landmark symbolizing victory.
The cherry blossoms Sewaritei are a delicate pink, the matcha in Uji is lush and green, and the Daruma doll at Katsuo-ji Temple is a vibrant crimson. These unique Japanese colors will become part of your cherished memories in photographs.
This is the Phoenix Hall of the Byodoin Temple, a World Heritage Site, famous for appearing on the obverse of the 10-yen coin. You can take a photo with it and a 10 yen coin.
There are a variety of cute matcha ice creams here, and each flavor is very attractive! It must be fun to try all the flavors if you share it with friends. The sweetness and slight bitterness of matcha are intertwined to bring a rich layered taste that is truly intoxicating! Whether you enjoy it alone or with others, it is a wonderful experience.
Photo courtesy of: "Ocha and Uji no Machi Historical Park Tea" This is an experience of making matcha by grinding tea leaves with a stone mortar. It is very popular with children and adults! By grinding the tea leaves yourself, you can not only experience the fun of making matcha, but also experience the entire process of making matcha from raw materials to finished products. This is a very interesting activity that can not only enhance your understanding of tea culture, but also allow you to enjoy the wonderful time of making it yourself!
The combination of the richness of matcha and the freshness of red beans, agar, and shiratama dumplings is not only rich in taste but also very tempting in color. This traditional dessert perfectly captures Japan's tea culture and Japanese aesthetics, perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
The most famous thing about Katsuoji Temple is "Sho Daruma"! These Bodhidharma statues have special significance in the temple. Each one represents "victory" and is a symbol of believers' wishes for success and achievement of their goals. What’s particularly interesting is that Bodhidharma’s eyes are hand-painted, and different painting methods can make Bodhidharma’s expression look completely different. This subtle change is very magical. Whenever people fulfill their wishes, they fill in the eyes of the Bodhidharma and offer it as a symbol of gratitude to the gods. This tradition is not only full of ritual, but also makes each Bodhidharma unique!
These overwhelming dharmas are truly amazing! Each Bodhidharma statue carries the wishes and hopes of believers. After their wishes are fulfilled, believers will paint eyeballs on Bodhidharma's eyes as a token of gratitude and dedication to the gods. This tradition symbolizes completion and gratitude after achieving a goal. It is full of the power of faith and a strong sense of ritual.
You can find those cute mini darumas everywhere in Katsuo-ji Temple! These tiny Darumas are not only adorable, but they also hold special meaning. You can try the "Sixty-four Hexagrams Dharma Lottery" method of drawing lots. Each mini Dharma represents a different hexagram and fortune. You can place it anywhere in the temple or take it home as a symbol of good luck. This interactive experience is fun and meaningful, adding to the joy of visiting the shrine while also making each little Daruma a unique souvenir!
Spring only: The magnificent cherry blossoms blooming on the river embankment at Sewaritei are simply stunning! Such a large-scale natural cherry blossom landscape, with lush branches and leaves, connected together, is truly a beautiful picture that is hard to see anywhere else. The cherry blossoms and the blue sky complement each other beautifully, and the contrast of colors is so sharp that it is simply the perfect material for taking photos. Don't miss this opportunity, be sure to capture this beauty in your camera!
