【京都観光】混雑なし！穴場の宇治を歩く。抹茶スイーツと世界遺産の街をぶらり旅｜平等院鳳凰堂｜鵜飼

Good morning. It’s 7:30 AM at Tokyo Station. It’s a magnificent building, no matter when you look at it. Today, I’m taking the Shinkansen for the first time in a while, and finally heading to Kyoto . I’m heading to Uji City in Kyoto. This backpack was provided to me. It’s from the Swedish brand Gaston Luga, and it has a very stylish design. I’ll be traveling with it this time. It looks like this backpack. Let’s take a look at its contents . It can hold a 13-inch laptop , a smartphone charger, sunglasses , a camera for photography , a jacket, and an umbrella . There are pockets inside, including a pouch for wet wipes and batteries. It can hold a variety of things. Make sure to protect your camera. There are also two exterior pockets, perfect for a water bottle. You could even fit an umbrella in one of these pockets. However, if it’s too full, it might not fit in there. It ‘s not a camera bag, so be careful . が待ち遠しいですね！ English: Recommended for everyday use and business. There is a button here but I don’t use it. It is left open. The lid is a hook type so you can adjust it with this. It can be adjusted in 5 steps. A nice feature is here . It can be fastened to a carry-on, which is quite convenient . It is surprisingly tiring to carry it all the time while traveling, so it is also very waterproof. It is made of a silicone-like material, so it is fine even if it gets wet. Personally, this is what I like about it. It is a Swedish manufacturer. One thing that bothers me is that dirt is very noticeable. I’m not treating it well, but it has turned white. Maybe it’s because of the sunscreen that it has turned white. On the other hand, white might be better. It can be cleaned by wiping it. Also , there may not be enough pockets for a woman. Yuko is 154cm tall. This is the Splash 2.0 13 series. My computer is for 13 inches. It looks like this. There are even larger sizes available. From now on, I will use it when I do editing work in cafes and the like. I am 171cm tall and the size is just right. I have attached a product link in the description. There is also a 15% off coupon code so please use it. I would like you to take a look at this. Actually, I had a bit of trouble with this. If you look closely, you will see that the seat ticket for Shin-Osaka is showing the time of departure at 8 o’clock. The train was originally bound for Kyoto at 8:30, but it seems the person ahead of me forgot to take it. I also took it without noticing, but I realized it while taking this photo. I’d booked it through the app, so I checked the app and got on. It turned out fine, but I wanted to let everyone know that things like this happen. By the way, my wife’s departure from Tokyo to Kyoto was properly scheduled for 8:30. I think someone after her forgot to take it. We arrived at the platform. The Shinkansen really does feel like a journey. In a recent survey asking people whether they preferred planes or the Shinkansen, the overwhelming majority chose the Shinkansen . I thought the Shinkansen would give me a more travel-like feeling and be more enjoyable, so I chose Kyoto this time. I was on the wrong platform. It was on the opposite side. Hey, that’s dangerous! Please step back inside the yellow tactile paving. And so we began. I’d like to take you all to Kyoto. Running parallel to us is the Keihin-Tohoku Line. Everyone, please go to work. Here’s my proper seat ticket. The conductor gave me a new one. I bought an ekiben (boxed lunch). It was a ” Tamatebako” (a boxed lunch ) from Maisen, famous for its tonkatsu. I chose the autumn-themed Kiyoken bento . The cutlet sandwich looked delicious, along with dried gourd rolls and inari sushi . It was also filled with simmered oji-san (old man’s rice). It was a delicious autumn treat: mixed rice, salmon, and carrots shaped like autumn leaves . The shumai mai was also delicious . You can see Mt. Fuji in the distance. If you’re heading from Tokyo Station toward Osaka, I recommend getting a seat on the right side of the train, so you can see Mt. Fuji. As we approach the destination, the conductor will make an announcement on the train saying that Mt. Fuji is visible to your right, so it’s a good idea to listen for that, too. It seemed like all reserved seats were full that day. I imagine most people were on business, but I recommend booking online. There was plenty of legroom and it was comfortable. The weather started to get cloudy from Nagoya . Kyoto was also forecast to be cloudy and rainy that day . We’re almost there. It’s been 10 years since I last visited Kyoto , on our honeymoon . The Shinkansen trains are just as fast as the Yamanote Line. There are freshly ground coffee vending machines on the station platform, too. They offer Doctor Yellow Blend and Shinkansen Blend. They also sell vanilla ice cream. Apparently, it didn’t work with my phone case. There’s also a QR code. Foreigners were confused. Those seating charts aren’t tickets, so be careful. I’ll go outside for a moment . I want to see Kyoto Tower. As expected, there are a lot of foreigners. Kyoto is popular. Speaking of Kyoto, Yatsuhashi is a must-see. The packaging is cute. Tsujiri’s matcha is famous. Uji, where I’m going next, is also famous for its matcha . I recommend buying souvenirs at Kyoto Station. They have everything. Below is a taxi stand and lockers. I’ll leave my luggage at the hotel in Uji this time. I booked a hotel near Uji Station, so I’ll leave my luggage there. I won’t be using the lockers this time. By the way, how much do the lockers cost? The most expensive one is 1,000 yen. The others are 700 and 500 yen. IC cards and cash are accepted. Everyone uses taxis. Kyoto Tower is on the other side of the station. I’m in front of Kyoto Station . Kyoto Tower is on the other side of Kyoto Station. I feel like I’m in Kyoto , but this time, it’s not Kyoto. We’re heading down from Kyoto Station. Instead of the usual Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji temples, we’re heading to the suburbs . We’re taking the JR Nara Line. From Kyoto Station, we head down . It takes 20 to 30 minutes. But since we’re here, we’ll take a little stroll around Kyoto Station . By the way, the bus stop is on the Kyoto Tower side. Kyoto Station is also spacious. The ceiling is amazing! You can go even higher ! There are restaurants, too . It feels like Kanazawa. People are cleaning the windows. There ‘s even higher ! The stairs are long. We’re about to head to Uji. The ticket gates are crowded . Unfortunately, the Nara Line is currently suspended . However, it was fine up to Uji. There were delays, but service has been suspended from Uji onward. There seems to be a signal problem. The Nara Line is on platforms 8 to 10. Kyoto is crowded. Overtourism is a problem in Kyoto right now. We were hesitant to go, but since we were going to Kyoto, we decided to go to Uji, which is less crowded. Uji is a hidden gem of a tourist spot because it’s not crowded. I wanted to take my time sightseeing, so I decided to stay in Uji for two days and one night. Arashiyama and other places are crowded, so I don’t recommend it. I had to climb some stairs. Luckily , there was a train bound for Uji. Today, this train will be heading to Uji instead of Nara. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but please be aware of this in advance. Inari Station is famous for Fushimi Inari Shrine. Everyone gets off at the same time . We arrived in Uji in just 20 minutes. As you can see, there aren’t many people here . I’ve said this many times before. Uji is a hidden gem. Speaking of Uji, it’s famous for its matcha. Take a look. This is actually a mailbox. It ‘s shaped like a teapot. It’s perfect for mailing your mail . The reason Uji became famous for matcha is because the land in Uji is well-drained and the clean water from the Uji River is excellent. Furthermore, the temperature difference between morning and night causes mist from the Uji River, softening the sunlight hitting the tea leaves. This is what makes the tea so delicious . Furthermore, during the Muromachi period, the Ashikaga Shogun and other military commanders protected tea . It was presented to the Shogun and temples as a luxury tea at the time, and Uji tea spread throughout the country. First, I’m heading to the hotel. I’ll be eating matcha today. I can see Ito Kyuemon in Uji. It’s charming. Matcha is booming among foreigners right now. This is the trendy hotel in Uji. It’s a five-minute walk from the station. I can’t check in yet, but I can leave my luggage there. After dropping off my bags, I stroll around Uji. It’s 12:30, so I’ll have something to eat. Nakamura Tokichi: This protruding window lets in natural light from above. It was apparently designed to inspect the quality of the tea leaves. The aroma of tea is wonderful inside the shop. I receive a numbered ticket. There’s a magnificent courtyard. My number is called in both Japanese and English. I wait inside the shop. The seasonal menu includes roasted green tea parfait , and of course, matcha. Then, I order soba noodles. I order via mobile order, which is a one-order system, so each person can only have one dish. It’s a welcome tea. I wait two minutes. Instructions are also included. Nakamura Tea is a blend of seven types of tea leaves. It has a wonderful aroma and is easy to drink. The aroma of tea fills the mouth. I’ll have Uji Tencha Kitsunecha Soba . First, I eat the soba noodles. This is soba mixed with matcha, so it’s green. It has a slight tea scent. And this is yuzu paste. Soba is usually made with wasabi, but this one has yuzu, which is unusual. It has a slightly bitter taste and the scent of yuzu spreads throughout your mouth. Tea and yuzu go surprisingly well together. And this is fried tofu. It ‘s really big. I’ll try eating it as is . It’s sweet. The flavor is stronger than I expected. Delicious. And this is dried tea leaves. It’s crunchy. I’ll try this too. The scent is nice. And this is matcha oil . I’ll try eating it a little as is. It has a miso-like flavor. This is delicious. You can change the flavor in various ways . It’s delicious. It has a nice bitterness. That’s right. Sweet and delicious . There are different ways to eat it. First, eat it as is, then with yuzu, and then with oil . Matcha jelly is shiny and jiggly. It looks rich, but it’s surprisingly light. Slightly sweet. The matcha scent is also strong . I thought it would be quite strong, but it’s a gentle flavor. There’s also a souvenir corner. The food was delicious. It’s popular and always crowded, but surprisingly, they skipped my line. For some reason, everyone was gone. I waited about 15 minutes. Tsujiri here is also famous. I went to the statue of Murasaki Shikibu. Uji seems to be the setting for The Tale of Genji. That’s Uji Bridge. It was the NHK historical drama “To You, Shining Light.” By the way, I watched all the episodes and it was really interesting. “To You, Shining Light” is a drama depicting the life of its author, Murasaki Shikibu. It’s not The Tale of Genji . You can go all the way to the bottom. There are foreigners taking a break, too. The bridge is wide . There’s a park on the other side. The Uji River is wide. The road is wide, too , with five lanes. The Uji River flows quite fast. There’s another bridge on the other side, with a park in the river. There’s a mysterious space that’s rare for a bridge. Apparently, this space was created long ago so that Toyotomi Hideyoshi could draw water from the Uji River for tea ceremonies. I wonder if it’s used? It’s not bungee jumping, right? What a magnificent bridge ! Tea is amazing! Uji Bridge is the oldest bridge in Japan. It’s said to be the place where the water for the tea ceremony was prepared . Further ahead is Byodoin Temple’s Phoenix Hall, famous for its appearance on the 10-yen coin. The torii gate is also large. This is Byodoin Temple’s main approach. They serve matcha gyoza and matcha ramen, and they also serve matcha takoyaki. Uji isn’t too crowded, so it’s just right. The tea caddies are cute. Kiyomizu-dera Temple in autumn and Kinkaku-ji Temple in spring are patrons of the shogun family. This shop once donated tea here, and it has ties to the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families for generations . There are cars passing by here, so please be careful. Of course, there are people living here, so that’s to be expected. This is sake from the Kansai Expo. And matcha cream soda. This is Byodoin Temple. I’ll be there tomorrow. There’s a Starbucks next to Byodoin Temple. It looks like you can enjoy the autumn leaves in November. It’ll be beautiful when the leaves turn color. There’s a dam upstream of the Uji River. In the event of heavy rain, a siren will sound, so please move away from the riverbank immediately. There’s a Tale of Genji lantern, which is apparently lit at night. Cormorant fishing is performed here at night, and we’ll be watching. The tourist information center is here, and there’s also a restroom at the tourist information center. For cormorant fishing, we’ll board that houseboat. You can see a stone tower in the distance. It’s the tallest in Japan, a 13-story floating pagoda. It was built to protect against flooding. The current there is strong. This is the cormorant fishing reception. Registration begins at 5:30 PM and departs at 6:00 PM. The season runs until September 30th. Right next to the reception is a cormorant hut . They’re called sea cormorants, and there are both wild and hatched ones. Thank you for coming today. My name is Utti, a sea cormorant. The cormorant fishermen in Uji are women. Here’s a photo of cormorant fishing. They use cormorants to catch fish in the river at night, surrounded by a bonfire . It looks like a sea cormorant from Ibaraki. It’s our hometown. I never thought we’d find a connection here. It is closed on Wednesdays. This is Uji Shrine. It is designated as an Important Cultural Property. In front of Uji Shrine there is a statue from the Tale of Genji. Apparently there is also a flower named Hikaru Genji, a camellia. There are two shrines, Uji Shrine and Ujikami Shrine. Ujikami Shrine, which we will visit later, is a World Heritage Site and a National Treasure. At Uji Shrine here, a rabbit is used as a water basin. Usually dragons are common, but this is unusual. Worshippers turn to the right. Now let’s pray. There is a rabbit here that looks back. Legend has it that when Uji no Wakairoko no Mikoto got lost, a god’s messenger, a rabbit, guided him to this place. It got its name because it kept looking back. There are rabbit lanterns lined up next to Uji Shrine . Next to Uji Shrine is Ujikami Shrine. This is a World Heritage Site. It is recommended to visit this approach during the autumn foliage season. It’s amazing. Pets are not allowed here. This is a magnificent worship hall. Behind it is the main hall. The place name Uji comes from the name of the god Uji no Wakairoko. The main hall is divided into three rooms, I believe. It’s the father-son pair. This main hall is designated a National Treasure as Japan’s oldest shrine. From Ujikami Shrine, I returned to Uji Bridge. This is Tsuen, Japan’s oldest tea shop. The eat -in area appears to be on the right. I wanted to try this simple matcha with a nice aroma. It’s delicious, but I thought it would be sweet, but it wasn’t. The matcha flavor is strong. This is the matcha monaka, with a good balance of sweet and bitter. The texture of the monaka is also delicious. I also had some roasted green tea. This is Keihan Uji Station, another Uji station . The station seems to have a unique architecture. It has an artistic feel, a slightly dimly lit, bare concrete walls. Uji is home to the famous Kyoto Animation, and Kyoto Animation is also involved in promoting Uji. The quality is incredible, so I recommend checking it out on YouTube. There’s no one there, it’s directly connected to the outside, and you can see the view. It’s a mysterious space. The Keihan Railway connects to Osaka, but not directly to Kyoto Station. You have to transfer at Tofukuji Temple . Because it’s connected to the outside, there are swallow nests. Swallows are still flying around, so be careful of their droppings. There are white traces of droppings on the floor and walls. They’re flying there, as expected, and there was a sign saying, “Watch out for swallow droppings from overhead .” I’m checking in for cormorant fishing . There’s a line of people. The event runs from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and costs ¥2,700 per person. There will be a short wait . This is the reason I came to Uji for cormorant fishing. I’m preparing for cormorant fishing . Thank you for coming to the Uji River today. Before we begin, I’d like to talk a little about cormorant fishing. Cormorant fishing is a traditional Japanese fishing method that uses cormorants to catch fish such as sweetfish. Today’s room is here. There’s a TV, mirror, desk, and chair. There’s a refrigerator in the corner. I turn it on, but I can’t see anything from the window. The hair dryer is a Panasonic turbo with dry and cold settings. The unit bath is clean, thank you. I have DHC hair shampoo, conditioner, and body shampoo. There’s an outlet by the pillow so I can charge my devices. The nearby restaurant was crowded, so I went to a nearby supermarket. As expected of Uji, I bought some matcha karinto and Ace Coin. Also, it’s matcha. There was a matcha booth. 40% off yakisoba and Okinawan taco rice. Since it was late at night, there wasn’t much rice left 😂 It’s an Okinawa specialty. I love Yebisu beer, and it came in a can with a design by Hirohiko Araki, the original author of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It looks delicious . The mayonnaise on the yakisoba, with its rich mitto sauce, is the best . I’ll take a bath and head to bed. See you tomorrow, everyone. Good night. Good morning. Anyway, it’s 6:15 AM, and I’m up early. I’m taking a walk around Uji. Apparently there’s a bakery that opens at 6 AM, so I’ll buy breakfast there and head to the Uji River. At 8:30 AM, I’ll head to Byodoin Temple, which I couldn’t visit yesterday. Today’s weather is sunny and cloudy, but the temperature is expected to exceed 30°. It ‘s hot, even though it’s almost October, but it’s cool in the morning. They really do open at 6 AM, and everything looks delicious. They have Uji’s unique Chatsubo Bread, so I bought some and headed to the Uji River. I saw the cormorant fishing here yesterday. I wonder if there’s anywhere I can eat it . I’ll have breakfast here. I’ve got an egg ham sandwich and a shrimp cutlet sandwich. The famous Chatsubo Bread is heavy, but it looks like melon bread, but it’s actually matcha. I also have a roasted green tea cream bun. The sun is rising, and the batter is crispy, the shrimp is plump, and it’s delicious. I went first thing in the morning. It’s full of eggs . A bakery that’s open in the morning is rare, so it’s a blessing for early risers. It’s delicious, cheap, and delicious . I’ll eat it while looking out at the Uji River in the morning. It was a luxurious breakfast. I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but as an early riser, I’ll have the Sanmon no Toku Teapot . It’s heavy. Let’s eat. It’s matcha flavored . It would go well with coffee. It’s slightly sweet. It’s filled with matcha cream. It’s a large portion, which is why it’s heavy. There’s more than I expected. It’s enough to fill me up. It ‘s chewy, like anpan, with plenty of cream. The aroma of roasted green tea is wonderful . The warm aroma of roasted green tea fills the air. The dough is chewy. The traditional Pokemon manhole cover is named after a rabbit, as expected. This is in front of Uji Shrine. I didn’t notice it yesterday. It would be nice to find it when I travel. I arrived at Byodoin Temple’s Phoenix Hall. The park opens at 8:45 AM. There are about 10 people in line. Adults: 700 yen. I’m glad it’s sunny. I’ll look at the garden. It costs an additional 300 yen to enter the Phoenix Hall. The guide is also in English, so it’s easy to understand. This line is for people entering the temple. We’ll just see the garden. It’s our first time seeing it in person. The sky is blue, reflected on the water. It’s so beautiful! Even elementary school students went on a field trip. The Phoenix Hall is famous on the 10-yen coin. I wanted to do this. To put it simply, this was Fujiwara no Michinaga’s villa during the Heian period. His son converted it into a temple . This pond represents the Pure Land. It feels like the boundary between this world and the next, since the other side is the world of Buddha. Uji is famous as a villa for Heian aristocrats. Even now, walking around the city, I see many wealthy-looking houses, and it feels like aristocrats still live there. I’m not sure if it’s a remnant of that, but the pond is a matcha green. The lotus flowers in the pond also have a deep connection to Buddhism. The base of the Buddha is a lotus flower, isn’t it? I definitely recommend seeing that. Back at Kyoto Station, it’s 10 o’clock and foreigners are getting off the station one after another. They’re sightseeing. We’ve arrived at Kyoto Station. We’ll have lunch here. We came here because we heard Toyotei’s hamburgers are delicious. It seems to be a popular restaurant. We’ll issue a ticket. I’m number 7. Let’s eat. It’s a whole tomato salad with a nice sour aroma . It’s refreshing and delicious. The tuna salad is also delicious . It’s like a specialty . It comes with the set. The wrapped grilled cheese hamburger looks hot and the cheese is mixed together and is really delicious. The cheese and demi-glace go perfectly together . They also have potato butter. It’s huge. The potatoes are whole. This restaurant seems to like whole potatoes. Hyakunen Western Food Hamburger Let’s eat. It’s delicious. I’ve just finished eating. The restaurant is a little small. It feels like it’s pretty close to the next one. But it was delicious. I recommend everyone to go there too. I would like to end my trip to Uji here. It’s the autumn foliage season, so I think Kyoto will be quite crowded, so I recommend Uji on the outskirts . If you enjoyed this video, please like, comment, and subscribe. See you on my next trip! 👋
