The Tale Of Genji tour ②

Byoudouin open from 8:30 to 17:30 entrance fee is 600yen per person.
this temple used to use for villa of japanese aristocrat and after the year 1052 Byoudouin was rebuiled for temple.
Byoudouin is pictured of japanese 10yen coin and the building was really beautiful. inside of Byoudouin there are beautiful modern museun building and garden so I could just sit down there and enjoy the garden .

after the byoudouin we walk to the Ujigami shrine this shrine is one of the world culturel heritage so the building is very old andvery histrical atmosphere .


after Ujigami shrine we went to Genji monogatari(tale of Genji) museum
the entrance fee is 500yen per person and it is open from 9:00 to 17:00.


Uji is small city but there are many famous temple there , food and seets are also very nice. there are not so far from kyoto city.
this year is ceremony for Tale of Genji ! I am sure you can enjoy Uji !
