Temple near Kyoto; famous statue of seated Buudha by 11th-century sculptor, Jocho.

This temple is an excellent half day's visit from Kyoto. As it's on the JR Nara line, it can be easily combined with the Fushimi Inari shrine, we stopped there on the way back from Uji and had plenty of time to see both. There are some beautiful cherry trees and wisteria in the grounds, and on a sunny day the reflections of the temple in the water must be stunning. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and although there were crowds of tourists, the traditional tea room was quiet and the matcha green tea, served hot or chilled, is definitely worth trying! Nearby there are lots of matcha souvenir shops and more places to enjoy traditional green tea, also ice cream sprinkled with matcha powder, enjoy!!

Beautiful cherry trees within the shrine area: A must see during the sakura-season. Also beautifully located at the Uji-River - really worth a visit.

Matcha... matcha everything! There are too many options to choose from on this shopping street. Be warned... you'll spend a lot!
