Uji is a historic city located in Kyoto Prefecture, known for its significant cultural heritage and tea cultivation tradition. Situated between Kyoto and Nara, two of Japan's ancient capitals, Uji has played an important role in Japanese history and culture since the Heian period (794-1185).
The city is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Byodoin Temple with its famous Phoenix Hall, and the Ujigami Shrine, one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines. Uji is particularly renowned for its high-quality green tea production, which has been cultivated in the region for over 800 years, making it one of Japan's most important tea-growing areas.
The city's rich cultural landscape combines religious architecture, traditional tea culture, and literary history, as it was also the setting for the final chapters of The Tale of Genji, considered the world's first novel.
