    Kyoto Uji-shi Uji Higashiuchi 1
    This tea merchant was founded in 1160. The shop is currently located in an Edo Period tradesman's house built in 1672. It offers a broad selection of teas including affordable teas for everyday use, high-end luxury teas, unusual varieties of tea, organically grown teas, and more. Guests can enjoy items including matcha sweets and soba noodles made with organically grown matcha tea while taking in views of Uji Bridge and the Uji River from the shop's teahouse.

    Tsuen should be the oldest tea house in Uji at the same location all along. Visitors would try to have matcha there after long walks along Uji River. Nice to view sunset at the tea house as well.

    Kyoto Uji-shi Uji Higashiuchi 16

    As usual in past years, we have a short break at Surugaya after strolling around Uji. Again green tea ice cream was our favorite.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
