Traveling the World #101 (Asia Series) - Uji Shrine & Surroundings ...

Hi Steemians,

Today I will be taking you to Uji Shrine (lower shrine) & the outskirts of Uji. The shrine approximately 10-15 minutes walk from Byodoin Temple where you can walk across the bridge to the opposite side of the town. It is one of the main destinations if you are around Uji apart from Byodoin & the shopping strip. We visited Uji twice during our stay and would recommend that for anyone who doesn’t want to rush during their travels.

Just before we go in to see the shrine, there are some things you can look out for. Along the side of the road, there are many signs and maps for tourists. It gives you a detailed description of the area or a story of the location.

You may notice this side of town is a lot quieter than the main section. It was very pleasant to walk around with the autumn leaves surrounding us (even though it was already end of the year when we visited).

It is recommended you should wear some comfortable shoes as there would be alot of walking and the ground is full of cobble stones. Here we are!

If you look around, the ground has many interesting drain caps just like the rest of Japan.

We really enjoyed the visit. Next stop, I will be taking you to Ujigami Shrine which is not far from Uji Shrine.

大家好今天我會帶你們到宇治神社和周邊遊覽一下．神社從平等院走路大約要10至15分鐘而可以用橋走到神社．今次的旅程我們到了宇治兩次因為可以慢慢遊覽這個地方．未入神社之前，我們可以見到街道比較安靜，政府安排了一些地圖給遊客．我建議參觀這些神社穿舒服鞋子因為路不平會有好多石頭．有一樣東西要留意就是地上的坑渠蓋，在日本每一地區的坑渠蓋都不同的．下一站我會帶你們到宇治上神社
