Published by trip-partners

Take the bus from Taiyogaoka and return to JR Uji Station.、From there, I headed to Byodoin Phoenix Hall via Agata Shrine.。When you think of Uji, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is probably the first tourist spot that comes to mind.、Despite the rain, there were many tourists on this day.。The order of visits may change.、In this article, we will begin with Byodo-in Phoenix Hall.、Next, I will introduce Agata Shrine.。

 

Walking map "JR Uji Station - Agata Shrine - Byodoin Phoenix Hall"

Byodoin Phoenix Hall is relatively close to JR Uji Station.。As you can see from the scale、500There is no m。In the previous article, I walked to Taiyogaoka.、This was much easier。There are no slopes。

 

World Cultural Heritage “Byodoin Phoenix Hall”

The entrance to Byodoin Phoenix Hall is on the south side.。Admission fee is 700 yen as of 2024、An additional 300 yen to view the interior。Prices may changeOfficial websitePlease take a look at。By the way, if you want to see the inside, there will be a waiting time.。On this day, the wait time was one hour.、You should expect to wait longer during busy periods or on sunny days.。I gave up on visiting the interior this time.。

proceed according to the route。I still can't see the famous Phoenix Hall.。

If you walk a little, your field of vision will expand.、Byodo-in Phoenix Hall and garden spread out in front of you。The route is set so that it goes all the way from the back to the front.。

It's not the cherry blossom season yet.、Because the sky is cloudy、Although it is not a landscape like the advertising photo、Still worth seeing。

I came to the side。It seems like you can cross this bridge to see the inside.。This is also the reception desk for viewing the interior.。There are a lot of people gathered in the back、That is the front of Byodoin Phoenix Hall.。10This is the place where you can see the sight of yen coins.。

The route continued this way, so I came here, but there was nothing special.。

front diagonal side。Raindrops are making a pitter-patter sound on the pond, creating ripples.。This elegant sight is special on rainy days.。

Finally the front。I heard that on sunny days you have to line up to get the front row.、You can afford it on a rainy day。10There were many people taking commemorative photos with yen coins in hand.。After all, there are many foreigners。

slightly diagonally。The place in the back where there are a lot of people is the reception desk for the interior tour that we were at earlier.。

I got the goshuin stamp around here.。Since it was a rainy day, I was able to get it right away without having to wait.。After all, there aren't that many people in front of it.。In fact, the internal admission reception is terrible.。

After the previous photo、Enter the Byodoin Phoenix Hall museum、After that, I came out via a souvenir shop.。There are many national treasures on display inside the museum.、Unfortunately, I don't have any photos as taking photos is prohibited.。There are many staff members.、It was a rainy day, so I was asked to put my umbrella in by the people with umbrella pons at the entrance, so I went inside.。The viewing time depends on the person, but I think it's about 15 minutes.。It will take less than an hour to visit the entire garden.、30I think it's enough for walking around normally if you plan on taking about 45 minutes.。of course、Take a leisurely look at the museum、If you were to visit the inside, it would easily take more than an hour.。

This is the end of Byodoin Phoenix Hall.。Here is an introduction to Kake Shrine.。

 

Sound!Kake Shrine, a sacred place for euphonium

Kake Shrine is located about 100m from Byodoin Phoenix Hall.。At the tourist information center, there was a map of pilgrimage to sacred places.、I saw it written there so I went there too.。

It's not a very big shrine.。but、While receiving a stamp、There were anime pamphlets on display.、It seems that there are quite a number of people who visit this place as a pilgrimage.。

Main shrine from the front。The rain creates a nice atmosphere.。

I took the opportunity to view it from various angles.。

This is what it looks like from the main shrine to the torii gate.。It's small so sightseeing will take less than 10 minutes.。If you visited Byodo-in Phoenix Hall, I think it would be a good idea to visit Kake Shrine as well.。

 

Next time, we will go from the Uji City Tourist Information Center to the Ajirogi-no-Michi from the top of the Igawa irrigation machine.、I wish I could introduce you to Asagiri Bridge.。

From Uji Station to Taiyougaoka through the Cultural Center ~ “To Shineru” & “Sound!”!Touring the sacred places of “Euphonium”

Published by trip-partners

I was in Nara prefecture the day before.、I was looking for somewhere nearby to visit and found Uji City in Kyoto Prefecture.。The taiga drama ``Hikaru Kimi e'' was being aired at the time.、Popular TV anime “Sound”!Euphonium” stage、I came here because I wanted to visit the sacred places.。

Uji City is famous for Byodoin Phoenix Hall.、I think there are many people who cannot think of other tourist attractions.。When I actually visited, there were quite a few tourist attractions.、As expected, there were quite a few things to see as it was the setting of the work.。

Starting from this time, I would like to visit Uji City in several parts.。

 

Walking map "Uji Station - Uji City Cultural Center (Uji City Cultural Hall) - Taiyogaoka (Kyoto Prefectural Yamashiro Sports Park)"

It is about 2-3 km from JR Uji Station to Taiyogaoka.、I think it's tougher than it looks on the map because there's a lot of climbing.。Also、It was raining that day so it was quite difficult.。Actually, there is a bus leaving from the station.、I just didn't have the time so I decided to walk.。On the way home、Check the timetable of Taiyogaoka bus stop、I'm back with that。

 

JR Uji Station

When I got off the train, I was greeted at the station by a mascot character called Oujichama from the Chacha Kingdom.。Uji is a tea producing region.。I guess that's the motif。

By the way, this place I'm currently at is JR Uji Station.。There is another station nearby called Keihan Uji Station.。Sound!Keihan is collaborating with Euphonium.。

Exterior of JR Uji Station。There is a rotary in front of the station where there is a bus stop and a taxi stand.。It's raining beautifully, so we're about to start some serious sightseeing.。It should be noted、I left my luggage in a coin locker.。I don't really want to walk around with my luggage in the rain.。

A teapot-shaped mailbox installed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Uji City establishment.。It has an interesting shape。

 

Uji City Cultural Center (Uji City Cultural Center)

in the rain、It took about 30 minutes to walk while getting lost with Google Maps in hand.。We finally arrived at our first destination, the Civic Cultural Center.。This is not a tourist spot、It's a public facility, so it's perfect for sheltering from the rain.。Also、Sound!It seems to be a sacred place for euphoniums.、I stopped by on the way。

It seemed like an event was being held in the small hall on this day.。However, it didn't seem like there were that many participants.、It was very empty inside。The air conditioner is working and it's cool.。For comparison、The Great Hall is introduced in the anime sacred place.、Apparently you can only enter there when an event is being held in the main hall.。The main hall was locked。

The main hall is at the top of the escalator in front of you.。As you can see、Escalators and stairs are prohibited。The concerts in the anime were depicted in this large hall.。

This building itself is not that big.。I got the impression that it was quite small compared to my local Numazu Citizen Cultural Center.。

When I went outside, the rain had gotten heavier.。My shoes are already soaked。From here, the sun heads towards the hill.。

 

Taiyogaoka (Kyoto Prefectural Yamashiro Sports Park)

It is not very far from the Civic Cultural Center to Taiyogaoka.。If you walk a little, you will be guided to Taiyogaoka 500m.。If the weather is good, it will be soon... I just keep going up the gentle slope.。There is a bus stop for the return bus along this road, so be sure to keep an eye on the time.。There are times when there is only about one train running per hour.、If you don't make it in time, you'll have to walk this long distance again.。However, unlike the trip there, the return trip is downhill, so I think it's a little easier.。Unless it rains...

The sun has arrived at the hill。Despite the rain, people gathered on this day.。Apparently it was a sports tournament for junior high school students (probably).。

A nice park for a walk if it's sunny。It's raining, so I'll move forward quickly.。

Arrive at the playground。This is probably the location of the Sunfest in the anime.。Of course it's raining today so there's no one there so it's quiet.。

You can see that it's quite spacious.。It's a soccer stadium, so it's only natural.。

Since no event is being held, we cannot go inside, so we walk around the outside.。The rain is getting heavier so I'm going home soon.。I actually wanted to stay a little longer and wander around.。

There are quite a few cars parked in the parking lot。It's a sports tournament.。I think it's probably an event in a gym like basketball.。

 

It's been a while, but that's all for now。Next time, I would like to introduce Kake Shrine and Byodoin Temple.。
