参加ブース紹介
Uji City is located between Kyoto and Nara, boasting an excellent location with easy access to both Kyoto and Osaka. The Uji River flows through the center of the city, surrounded by a scenic natural environment. It is a city blessed with rich history and culture, home to numerous shrines and temples, including the World Heritage sites Byodoin Temple and Ujigami Shrine.
As the setting for the "Uji Chapters" of the classic novel The Tale of Genji and a city closely associated with its author, Murasaki Shikibu, Uji actively shares the charms of its history, culture, and tourism. Its local specialty, "Uji Tea," is widely known as a premium tea, and recently, sweets made with Uji Matcha have also gained tremendous popularity.
