If you walk along Sawarabi no Michi, you will find Ujigami Shrine.。Daikichiyama (official name: Buttokusan) rises in the background.、Enjoy a short hike。In particular, the observatory is located in the anime ``Sound!''!It is a spot that often appears in "Euphonium".、This is a must-see place for fans.。

 

Walking map "Uji Shrine - Daiyoshiyama Observation Deck"

The one I will introduce this time is from Ujigami Shrine.、I took the opportunity to introduce it last time.Uji ShrineI have posted the route from。The entrance to the promenade to Daikichiyama Observation Deck was a little difficult to find.。I also asked the shrine maiden at Ujigami Shrine how long it would take to get to Daikichiyama Observation Deck, and she said it was a 15 minute walk.、It's not that hard of a climb.。Except、It was a rainy day so it was a little difficult.。

 

Ujigami Shrine, a world heritage site with Japan's oldest temple

If you go north on the Sawarabi-no-michi road, you will see the torii gate of Ujigami Shrine.。There are quite a few tourists, so I think you can get there just by following them.。

Enter the main shrine through this small gate.。By the way, the scenery in this photo is reproduced in the anime work.。Explanatory signboard for the World Heritage Site “Historical Properties of Ancient Kyoto”。1994It became the fifth World Heritage Site in Japan to be registered in 2017.。I am writing this article in 2014, so it was 20 years ago.。

This is the worship hall of Ujigami Shrine.。The main shrine had to go around to the back of this area.、Due to time constraints, I skipped this time.。I have to go to Minamikusatsu in Shiga Prefecture today...

If you follow this path, you will reach the main shrine.。By the way, I received the Goshuin stamp.。Ujikami Shrine has many types of stamps.、I usually use other than goshuin.、I received something called a Waka Goshuin.。It's a gorgeous piece of colorful paper with Hyakunin Isshu poems written on it.

 

Follow the Sawarabi path again to Daikichiyama Observation Deck

Now、After Ujigami Shrine, we headed to Daikichiyama Observation Deck.。Continue on the path of Sawarabi。

Next, we will head towards the Agemaki signboard.。This total angle is also the title of Uji Jucho.。

This is a monument with a poem written by Akiko Yosano, a female poet famous for her sloppy hair, who read about the Uji Jucho.。On the right side, a flower named Hikaru Genji was planted.。

This is the entrance to Daikichiyama Observation Deck.。If you go a little further, there will be a wide entrance.、It's closer if you enter from here.。Let's pass under the rain-soaked trees and head to the promenade.。

The promenade of Mt. Daikichi looks like this。The road is quite winding。It seems that cars cannot pass, so I will go up on foot.。Well, it's a promenade.。

I will take this path。Actually, I passed several people coming down.。Among them was a foreigner who was filling out fan notes for Sound Euphonium at the Uji Tourist Center.。The people who are climbing in the rain like this are probably anime fans (lol)

 

Daikichiyama Observation Deck overlooking the city of Uji

15 minutes walk。We finally arrived at Daikichiyama Observation Deck! When I arrived here, there was a customer ahead of me, who apparently was a local resident.。I was advised to go to the top of the mountain, but I gave up because I didn't have time.。I was told that Byodoin Phoenix Hall looks beautiful.、I told myself that it was enough because I could see the Byodoin Phoenix Hall from here.。

Unfortunately it's cloudy because it's raining。If it had been sunny, I might have felt more accomplished.。

Since I climbed all the way up here, I took photos from various angles.

Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is peeking out a little above the trees.、It seems like it's a little harder to see than the top of the mountain.。But it's good because I can keep an eye on Uji City!

This is a reproduction scene in the anime work。In the work, he seems to visit at night.、However, I think it is quite difficult to see the night view from here.。The trail will be pitch black、I couldn't find any hotels nearby.。If you want to see the night view, we recommend that you bring appropriate equipment.。

I came down from the observation deck。I passed several people on my way down the mountain.。I think he's definitely a fan since he was talking loudly about anime.。

 

Now、Next time, we will cross the Tale of Genji Museum and head towards Ujibashi and Keihan Uji Station.。
