THINGS TO DO in KYOTO: Exploring Uji, Japan's Matcha City! | Theodore Boborol If it's not your first time traveling to Kyoto and Nara, Japan, you might want to check out Uji City, Japan's Matcha City, in one day. Uji is on the border of Kyoto & Nara so you can make this part of your itinerary on your second visit to Japan. I started my day at the shopping and food alley Byodoin Omotesando, where you can buy anything tea-related. I also went to Byodoin Temple, Hoshokan Museum, Taihoan municipal teahouse, and Uji Park. I strolled along Uji Riverside

I was prompted to share this magnificent cemetery after it was brought to my attention by an internet buddy (thanks Shyenne!) I'm thinking of making this a regular feature, bringing you a gorgeous cemetery with some fun facts every week or so. What do you think? Feel free to tell me about a location you've been amazed by and maybe I'll share it!
