Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Uji Bridge spanning both sides of the Uji River is a majestic and beautiful pure Japanese-style bridge with a total length of 153 meters. It was built in the second year of Dahua (AD 646) and is the oldest existing bridge in Japan. At the west end of Ujibashi Bridge, stands the "Ujibashi Hime Shrine". Uji Hashihime is the guardian god of Naga Bridge. The ancient Japanese believed that the connection between the bridge from one end to the other means the road from the present to the next. Therefore, the bridge has always been regarded as the destination of the soul.

The city with the characteristics of matcha, the birthplace of the literary "Yuanshi Wuyu", the relics of the ancient battlefield, are full of Japanese history imprints! Eating matcha ice cream and drinking matcha coffee, not bad for every beautiful moment.
A typical Japanese design is to add a layer of "skirts" on the side, a technique reminiscent of Tokyo's main gymnasium and the moon bridge in Busan. A small low bridge, built on Ujikawa, the surrounding scenery is very quiet.
Take a bridge that connects the two sides of Ujigawa. There is an introduction next to Ujigawa: Ujigawa was first built in the second year (646) more than 1,300 years ago, and is the oldest bridge in Japan. Throughout its long history, there have been countless natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and wars. But the bridges have been rebuilt every time, which shows that Yuzhi Bridge has been an important transportation site for Yuzhi.
The landmark building of Yuzhi, the township of Matcha, is the temple and Omotesando after walking through the bridge.
Uji is really a pretty town. Even it’s raining today, but I still enjoyed the trip. You must need to try to matcha ice cream and noodles here if you are a matchaholic. The scenery at the Uji Bridge is unbelievable and I am sure the view will be much better on sunny days.
