Uji
宇治Next up, we will play for you... Uji is not only the world-famous home of matcha but also the complete setting for Kyoto Animation's masterpiece, "Sound! Euphonium" (KyoBuki). The city is gently divided in two by the Uji River, and every landscape echoes the youthful melodies of Kitauji High School. Stepping out of Keihan Uji Station, the unique exposed concrete architecture makes you feel as if you've stepped into the anime. Strolling along the Uji River, you can seek out the famous "Kumiko's Bench" (in front of the Igawa Water Airport), a pilgrimage site where countless fans come with their instruments to take photos. If your stamina allows, be sure to climb Mt. Daikichi in this city of shrines and temples. From the observation deck, relive the night Kumiko and Reina played the famous song "Discovery of Love" there, overlooking the lights of the entire Uji city. In that moment, you too will be "special."
