Amazing Kyoto Uji Matcha Morning Tour

Michael_A, Jan 2026

Very good value! Got to see Byodoin Temple and Ujigami Shrien. My tour guide shoichiro was very infomative and quite in depth when explaining the cultural significance of both locations. I wont spoil it here, so you can ask them! On the way are heaps of matcha places also, so you can browse those to take home!
