Uji Byōdō-in Omotesandō
宇治平等院表参道
Uji, Kyoto · 京都
The approach to Byōdō-in, lined with tea houses that have been grinding Uji matcha for centuries — served as tea, soba, ice cream and jelly.
Why it’s worth it
Uji has produced Japan’s finest green tea since the 1200s. Order the matcha soba at least once; the noodles are green because the tea is in them.
