UJI is One of my favorite place in kyoto. Uji has some very famous temple.
one is Byoudouin this temple is pictured of japanese 10yen coin and Uji is also famous for green tea and the tale of Genji .
Do you ever heard about the Tale of Genji (源氏物語, Genji Monogatari) ?
This is a classic work of Japanese literature attributed to the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki shikibu in the early eleventh century, around the peak of the Heian period. It is sometimes called the world's first novel , the first modern novel, or the first novel to still be considered a classic. The issue remains debated among readers.
