Cose da fare a Uji

Fushimi Inari Taisha was a magical place. So beautiful for pictures. We went early evening before it got dark and it was perfect as not too many people. Highly recommended in Kyoto.

We were there in May and the weather was perfect. We had to walk up Gion path to be rewarded with Kiuomizu-dera Temple. Recommend to wear comfortable shoes as it was a long walk up cobble stones up the hill to get there. Make sure you take your time to find other hidden gems there. It was a treat for us to grab some delicious matcha ice cream on our way back.

Go here if you want to explore street food in Kyoto. These two alleys have food stalls and restaurants to fill your cravings for dango, daigaku, kobe beef, wagyu burger, matcha ice cream, etc.It's a good sidetrip when you're going to Yasaka Pagoda and Yasaka Koshindo Temple.

Se cercate una fuga nella prateria, questo posto è imbattibile. Distese di erba verde si estendono a perdita d'occhio, il cielo è di un azzurro brillante con pochissime nuvole e ogni foto scattata sembra uno sfondo per il desktop. L'attività locale di equitazione offre prezzi trasparenti, senza truffe nascoste, e le guide camminano lentamente con chi è alle prime armi, quindi non c'è motivo di essere nervosi. Abbiamo pernottato in una yurta, mangiato autentico agnello sfilacciato a mano e bevuto tè al latte salato, per poi cantare intorno a un falò. Dopo tre giorni qui, tutto lo stress era sparito: è stato un viaggio davvero indimenticabile.

the place is good for a walk, you can just leavr your troubles and then go for a walk along the river for some quick recharge.

We visited this place by night time. It was amazing and very peaceful. I like the architecture and atmosphere there.

Nice experience. Tower is high overlooking Kyoto. You can see far and wide. Nice view. Went at night and beautiful with the lightning in the surrounding area and moving vehicles on the roads. Took memorable photo (paid) with softcopy too.

Stunning natural beauty, definitely a must visit if in Kyoto. Convenient to get to, I took a bus there and train back to hotel. Definitely set aside a good few hours, beautiful scenery overlooking the riverside and lake. Many shops and restaurants in the village. Definitely take the romantic train, stunning views!

日本10日元硬币背面的图案原型，宇治必逛。真正站到凤凰堂前，第一感觉并不是“壮观”，而是非常协调。朱红色建筑横跨池水，屋顶两端的凤凰在阳光下特别醒目，水面、庭园、树木和建筑几乎连成一个整体。它就是日本10日元硬币背面的图案原型，所以现场很容易产生一种奇妙的熟悉感：原来每天都可能见到的那栋建筑，真的在这里。平等院最值得慢慢看的其实不是某个单独细节，而是整个空间。绕着阿字池走一圈，不同角度看凤凰堂，感觉都会不一样。尤其天气好时，蓝天、白云、朱红建筑和水面放在一起，非常出片。我还特别留意了屋顶上的凤凰。远看只是一个小金色轮廓，放大以后才发现造型很漂亮，也让整座建筑多了一点传说感。相比京都市区那些游客密集的大寺院，宇治和平等院整体节奏要舒服得多。这里不需要赶着“打卡十个点”，更适合放慢脚步。看完平等院，再去宇治川边走走，吃点抹茶，整个半天的节奏会非常舒服。个人感受：平等院不是靠规模震撼人，而是靠比例、色彩和环境取胜。照片上看是一座寺院。现场看，更像一幅被保存了一千年的画。

横跨宇治川两岸的宇治桥，是一座雄伟美观的纯日本风格桥，全长153米，兴建于大化二年（公元646年），是日本现存历史悠久的桥梁。在宇治桥的西头，矗立着"宇治桥姬神社”。宇治桥姬是长桥的镇守之神，古代日本人认为桥从此端通往彼端的连系，寓意着从现世通往彼世的路途，所以，一直将桥视为心灵的归宿。
