enjoyed around the country for centuries, historically serving a variety of purposes from promoting relaxation to enhancing celebration, improving health to appeasing gods during worship, not to mention simply as a source of indulgence through their delicious flavors.</p> <p>With each having such a long, rich history, it comes as no surprise that two centers of these respective tipples are located in Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital just a stone's throw from the Osaka metropolis. For those staying in the big city like I was, a jaunt to these two enthralling destinations is easy and convenient via the Keihan Railway, with visiting both possible even in a single day trip. With this in mind I boarded a Keihan train in central Osaka and was on my way to see what these towns had to offer.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_28.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_28.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_28.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_28.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_28.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_28.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">Keihan Uji Station</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>My first stop of the day was to be in Uji, an ancient center of Japanese tea that today boasts some interesting attractions devoted to the drink, in addition to various important religious sites. I was to begin my exploration after arriving at Keihan Uji Station at the best known of these religious sites, <b>Byodoin Temple</b>.</p> <p>This ancient temple has a history of over 1000 years, originally built in 998 as a countryside retreat villa for a leading member of the Fujiwara family, who during this period were the most powerful family in all of Japan. The complex was later made into a temple by the politician's son, and it was at this stage that the most prominent feature was erected, the Phoenix Hall. This beautiful building, which is named partly because of the phoenix statues that adorn the roof, has become so iconic that it is even featured on the Japanese 10-yen coin.</p> <p>Walking around the temple's well-manicured gardens while taking in views of the magnificent building from different angles made for a great way to start the day. Eager to venture inside the hall, I joined one of the short tours through the interior where I got the chance to get up close to the majestic statue of the Amida Buddha. The tours take place every 20 minutes and cost a small additional fee.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_29.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_29.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_29.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_29.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_29.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_29.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">One of the hall's namesake phoenix statues</span> </figcaption></figure> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_02.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_02.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_02.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_02.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_02.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_02.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">Scenes from inside Byodoin Temple's picturesque garden</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>From the Phoenix Hall I went on to the temple museum, which houses an impressive collection of the temple's most valuable artifacts including ancient statues, temple bells and old documents.

I strolled up and down the bustling street taking in the energetic atmosphere that persists here and imagined how similar this street might have been a few centuries ago (minus the electric street lamps and visitors taking photos with their smartphones, of course).</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_04.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_04.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_04.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_04.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_04.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_04.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">Omotesando</span> </figcaption></figure> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_05.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_05.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_05.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_05.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_05.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_05.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">A traditional atmosphere persists here</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>I eventually found the perfect looking cafe and ducked inside for some mid-morning sustenance consisting of tea and Uji Matcha Zenzai, which is Japanese red bean paste and soft mochi (pounded rice) served in a green tea soup. The snack was delicious and whetted my appetite for more tea-related snacks. Soon after leaving the cafe, I came across a shop selling green tea-flavored takoyaki (fried octopus in batter balls) and tried these, too.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_06.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_06.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_06.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_06.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_06.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_06.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">Inside one of the street's numerous cafes</span> </figcaption></figure> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/uji_07.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/uji_07.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/uji_07.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/uji_07.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/uji_07.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/uji_07.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">A delicious mid-morning snack</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>It was now time to head over to the other side of town to participate in a tea experience that promised to teach me more about the traditional tipple, so I left Omotesando and enjoyed the pleasant stroll over to <b>Takumi no Yakata</b>.

It was then time for me to board a <b>sightseeing cruise</b>, so I headed for the river.</p> <p>During the feudal era, flat-bottom, wooden boats plied these waters transporting goods to and from the town.

On the way however, I strolled past another of the town's iconic sites, the Teradaya Inn.</p> <p>This old guest house is where the attempted assassination of Sakamoto Ryoma, the instrumental proponent of Japan's evolution from a feudal into a modern society, was perpetrated by pro-shogunate agents.
