Beautiful Byōdō-in Temple  🗾
Byōdō-in temple in Uji, on the southern outskirts of Kyoto is a stunning work of restoration. A UNESCO world heritage listed site, its significance is displayed on the 10 yen coin and 10,000 yen note.

If you get a chance, check out the museum as well for the history of the temple and Phoenix Hall (the main building) and a depiction of  the temple in its colourful prime. #BestOf5

This hotel is one of my favorites! It is right across the street from a temple and the area is smack dab in the middle of Kyoto life. We took a walk down the neighborhood and met a lovely woman running her coffee shop. The staff is so helpful. They offer luggage delivery. It’s not far from Kyoto ...

Uji is a great little town to pick up green tea, and the best green tea ice cream I've ever had. There is shop after shop of green tea, and apparently they are one of the biggest tea producers in Japan.
