A Day Trip to Uji, Japan from Kyoto – The Ancient Capital of Matcha 

Uji, growing in popularity, is situated just between Kyoto and Nara. It’s conveniently a short 20 to 30-minute train ride away from central Kyoto, accessible by both the rapid line and local trains. The city is known for its abundance of premium matcha, or what you’ll often see referred to as “Uji Matcha”.
