Standing on the bridge and watching the Uji River flow slowly by, with the mountains and riverbank scenery on both sides, feels really pleasant. Compared with the bustling streets of central Kyoto, this area has a more leisurely and peaceful atmosphere. Strolling slowly across the bridge with the river breeze blowing, I felt completely relaxed.
Uji Bridge is also an important route to Byodoin Temple and Uji Shrine. After crossing the bridge, you can browse matcha shops and old streets along the way, which really gives you a taste of Uji.
