[Kyoto] Uji River and Historic Shrines Kyoto Half-Day Private Experience

The last ten chapters of the Tale of Genji are set in Uji, and the town has been trading on it for a thousand years. The walk follows the river past Byodo-in's Phoenix Hall - the building on the ten-yen coin, and the closest thing to a surviving image of Heian paradise - through Ujigami Shrine, the oldest shrine building in Japan, and along the lanes where the novel's final scenes take place.
