What you can expect

Uji is a location famous for the Tale of Genji, Tea, and the World Heritage site Kamigamo Jinja and the Byodo-in, but there is so much more to the Uji, and alot of it is hidden!

This walk starts at the Uji Keihan station and takes us by Kamigamo Jinja, up the hills of Daikichiyama (to a Kyoto Animation film location) overlooking the city of Uji and the Byodo-in. It takes in a mountain top princes's grave, through woodland and over the famous Uji River before taking the woodland walk from the main part of Uji to the hidden away Hakusan Shrine at the end of the Shirakawa Momiji Valley.

This is a walk that takes you off of the beaten track to parts of a popular part of Kyoto that most visitors never see. History and nature in an easy level hiking route.
