Uji's Famous Stone Tower

Uji was my first trip when I returned to Japan, and I returned just before I left.

Uji is home to two World Heritage Sites, Byodoin Temple and Ujigami Shrine. It is also famous as the site of the final ten chapters in Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji, considered to be the world's first novel.
