Went on a cloudy day with light drizzle. Spent about an hour walking around the area. There is a chair lift and monorail to bring passengers up the mountain to see the view. You need to bend between your leg for an unique view.. a small amusement park at the top of the mountain. Would like to have spent more time rent a bicycle to ride along the pine trees...

This is one of many great beaches along the Japan Sea in Kyoto prefecture. It's famous for sand that makes a squeaking noise when you walk on it, it even got a visit from Caroline Kennedy when she was US Ambassador to Japan. It has a nice campground under the pines right next to the beach and a few shops/stalls that sell food, drinks, beach supplies during the school summer vacation period. The beach is cleaned regularly over the warmer months, in winter you get to see lots of Korean rubbish washed up on the shore.

This is a great place to stroll down or sit and relax. Up the north end there were locals enjoying their weekend. Practicing dancing, gridiron and music. There are also turtle shaped stepping stones to cross the river which are super cute.

This beautiful river runs through the township of Uji – famed for its green tea – which is about a 30 minute JR train ride away from Kyoto Station. We certainly wished we had more time to explore its surroundings. Half a day was not enough for us! We were there on a perfect crisp autumn morning, when the Japanese maples were at their peak, displaying a riot of intense colours. Here’s how we enjoyed our time there: - We parked ourselves on one of the few benches along the Uji River, somewhere along the tree-lined stretch closes to Omotesando Street, just before the first bridge to the small island -- & enjoyed our take-away breakfast under the maple trees. - We enjoyed strolling along both sides of the Uji River, crossing bridges & taking in the views of old buildings & maple trees lining the riverbank. - We particularly loved the walk up the vibrantly colourful tunnel of maple trees to the Koshoji Temple. While I had read somewhere that this was a favourite fall foliage spot for avid photographers, I was pleasantly surprised that we had the place almost all to ourselves, on a weekday morning, before 9am. - We had fun participating in a tea lesson & shopping for green tea in one of the many long established tea shops along the nearby Omotesando old street. - We enjoyed tasting green tea flavored food & all things matcha including green tea soba, green tea jelly & matcha ice-cream. Really, on hindsight, we should have spent the night in Uji too!
