Descending down a mountain road muddy from the rain、Let's cross the Tale of Genji Museum and head towards Ujibashi.。I think most tourists come to Uji City using JR Uji Station.、There is another Keihan Railway station at Uji Station called Keihan Uji Station.。

Walking route “Mt. Daikichi entrance - The Tale of Genji Museum - To Keihan Uji Station & Ujibashi”

This time's route is to pass through Sawarabi-no-michi and head towards Ujibashi.。You can see that Ujikami Shrine is very close to Ujibashi.。Uji's main tourist attraction is Byodoin Phoenix Hall.、Uji Shrine、I think it will be Ujibashi.。I think readers who have read the previous articles will understand.、These are all located nearby、A few hours is enough for a quick sightseeing tour.。Except、I went to Taiyogaoka、It would take a day to get to Obaku, which I will introduce in the next article.。

The Tale of Genji Museum

As soon as you head north on the Sawarabi path from the entrance of Mt. Daikichi, you will arrive at the Tale of Genji Museum.。There seems to be a bicycle parking lot、I think most tourists visit on foot.。

Click here for the entrance。It's free until you enter the building.。I didn't go in this time because I didn't have time.、I would like to enter if I visit next time.。

At the entrance, there was a collaborative pop show between Sound Euphonium 3 and The Tale of Genji.。Uji Tourism CenterIt was in the。

Uji Bridge, one of the three oldest bridges in Japan

A short walk from The Tale of Genji Museum will take you to Ujibashi Bridge.。This Uji Bridge is one of the three oldest bridges in Japan.、His nickname is Ujisaburo.。The other two are in the same Kyoto Prefecture, Yamazaki Bridge (Taro Yamazaki)、This is Seta Karahashi Bridge (Seta Jiro) in Shiga Prefecture.。The area around Ujibashi Bridge is a tourist spot and is quite prosperous.。

There is a statue of Murasaki Shikibu just beyond the bridge.。And next to it is the Yumeuki Bridge ancient monument.。I think those who have read The Tale of Genji will understand.、Yume Ukihashi is the name of the last chapter of The Tale of Genji, the 54th chapter.。This means the end of Uji tourism (for me personally).。

Close-up of Murasaki Shikibu statue。This is a popular tourist spot where everyone is taking photos.。

There was a riverbed under Uji Bridge, and everyone went down to the bottom and played.。The rain had stopped, so many tourists were taking pictures below.、was playing in the water。

It's like this。I want to see the promenade、You can probably go all the way to Tachibana Bridge.。

Regular route to Byodoin main gate。I entered from the back、I guess the best way is to visit from here.。There is a sign of Kake Shrine on the torii gate.、Is this torii the torii of Kake Shrine? ?

Sound! Keihan Uji Station, which is also a sacred place for euphonium music

Keihan Uji Station is right next to Ujibashi.。There are two taxis parked.。I guess that means there is a certain amount of demand.。

Composition viewed from below。

The building is made of stone like this。

the train was just coming。Ride this to Obaku Station。I realized it later、There was something like a sticker of the sound euphonium on the bottom right of the front of the train.。I was wondering what a person from overseas was taking a picture of by squatting down near the front car of the train...and then I found out that's what he was doing.。

The posters inside the campus are completely reverberating with euphoniums.。There are often wrapped trains running at tourist spots in sacred places.、At that time, I thought it wasn't running here.。Actually, I went to Mt. Hiei the next day.、There, I happened to come across the Sound Euphonium wrapping train.、I would like to take this opportunity to introduce it to you again.。

Leaving Asagiri Bridge behind、This time we will take the route from Uji Shrine to Ujigami Shrine via Sawarabi-no-michi.。We will tour the places associated with the Ten Chapters of Uji, which concludes the Tale of Genji.。

Walking route “Uji Shrine to Ujigami Shrine”

Uji Shrine and Ujigami Shrine are very close, so it's easy to sightsee all at once.。There is a shortcut to Ujikami Shrine from the back of Uji Shrine, so it would be best to take that route.。The ``Sawarabi no Michi'' along the way is also called ``The Tale of Genji Walking Path.''、Uji Shrine、After Ujigami Shrine、It is a popular route for visiting Uji tourist spots such as the Tale of Genji Museum.。

Uji Shrine, famous as the Rabbit Shrine

The first torii gate you can see when heading towards Uji Shrine from Asagiri Bridge.。Image that it is much smaller than expected

There are 4 types of Goshuin。I received the Goshuin stamps ① and ②.。After all, it would be better to have it written directly on the Goshuin book.、I also really wanted to get the rabbit stamp.。

By the way, even though it was a rainy day, there was a line of goshuin stamps.。I think there are usually longer lines, so I think it's a good idea to set aside some time for sightseeing.。

This is a worship hall named Kirihara-dono.。Go through the torii gate in the back and head to the main shrine.。

Main shrine torii。Although it is a small shrine, it is famous and attracts many tourists.、It was difficult to take photos when no one was around.。

Main shrine designated as a national important cultural property。It seems to have been built in the early Kamakura period.。There seems to be a wooden statue of Udo Chiroko no Mikoto inside.。

From the front just in case。After bowing twice and clapping once, we leave the main shrine.。

There was a picture of a rabbit drawn on the lantern in the shrine grounds 🐇

Many shrines were placed near the back entrance.。With this, we will leave Uji Shrine.。

Sawarabi no Michi

Follow this road to Ujigami Shrine。By the way, what is this Sawarabi no Michi?、It is named after the name of one of the Uji Ten Chapters of The Tale of Genji, ``Early Warabi.''。

It's a straight road, so just follow the path.。

There was a signboard explaining early bracken.。In this way, there are several guides related to the Tale of Genji along the Sawarabi-no-michi.。

Next time is Ujikami Shrine.。

When you exit Byodoin Phoenix Hall, walk along the wall on the left and you will find the Uji City Tourist Center.。There is also a tourist information center at Keihan Uji Station.、Let's stop by now.。

Walking map “From Byodoin Phoenix Hall to Uji City Tourist Center”

Hanging Shrine、Byodoin Phoenix Hall、The location of the Uji City Tourist Center is like this。It is about 100 meters from Byodoin Phoenix Hall to Uji City Tourist Center.。There is also a tourist spot called Ajirogi no Michi, so we recommend taking this route.。

Inside the Uji City Tourist Center

As soon as you enter the entrance, Uji City's mascot character "Chacha Kingdom Oujichama" will welcome you.。The same POP was also set up at JR Uji Station.。

There was also a POP from the animated movie “HELLO WORLD”。2024The year is shining for you、Sound! Euphonium was being shown、It seems that past works are also left behind.。

Next to it is the 2015 Sound Euphonium.。Perhaps this is from the first season?。I think it was around the same time as Love Live Sunshine in my hometown Numazu.。I feel a sense of familiarity as we share the same sacred place.。

A collection of past works。There is also a seat to take a proper break, so it's perfect for a short break.。

Is this a collaboration with Hikaru Kimi e Hito Euphonium 3?。Anime characters are wearing Juni-hitoe because it is a town related to Murasaki Shikibu.。

Movie version POP。The one on the far right is a little faded.。You can feel the history。

Here is a poster signed by the original author.。

Fan exchange notes。A foreigner wrote something just before.。There were quite a few people from overseas, so it must be a popular work overseas as well.

Is there a voice actor's (?) signature on the back of the exchange notebook?。I looked at the contents of the notebook.。There were good illustrations。Since it was written in foreign languages, it seems to be popular overseas as well.。

This concludes the introduction to the Uji City Tourism Center.。Next time, let's walk along the Uji River along the Ajirogi path!
