Êtes-vous prêt à transformer vos passe-temps en activité lucrative ?
Experience a different side of Kyoto. Step back in time, by visiting sites and locations surrounded by nature, rich in historical stories, and well and truly off of the beaten track. Walking the Uji Hills and surrounding areas takes in temples, shrines, a World Heritage Site, nature, and is full of peace and calm. Famed for its tea and the Byodoin Temple, there is so much more to Uji, Kyoto that remains almost undiscovered. Take a guided walk from an Uji resident (British long term Kyoto resident, and writer of the guide book series 'HIDDEN PATHS - Walking Historical Kyoto').

Sanctuaire d'Uji
Up until the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Uji Shrine, which dates back to the Kamakura Period of 1185-1333, was the lower Shrine of the World Heirtage Ujigami Shrine closeby. It is thought to be located on the site of the palace of Crown Prince Wakiiratsuko.

The World Heritage shrine Ujigami Jinja dates back to the late Heian Era in the 11th Centruy. In the grounds of the shrine can be found one of the Seven Waters of Uji (Uji Shichi Meisui) spring water. The shrine is dedicated to the Crown Prince Wakiiratsuki, and his father the 4th Century Emperor Ojin.
