Pause for a moment of self-reflection in the spiritual surroundings of Byodoin Temple. You just never know — the answers to some of life's most pressing questions could be hiding behind its doors.
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Uji. Byodo-in Temple is an ideal place to start here, but there are lots of other worthwhile attractions to appreciate. Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto Racecourse, and Kamikata Onsen Ikkyu are not far from the place of worship and will top off your day nicely.
