    Perfect mix of landmarks and relaxation. May is ideal, I went in July and the heat weighs heavy.

    Genji Hot Spring very revitalising. I used to be born a cyclist, cycling around Uji and Nara. Only the weather is very humid.

    Equal parts cultural walk and relaxation. Very well organised. The cake was oddly textured, but tasty.

    Authentic onsen and cultural walk in Uji. The pasteito was the icing on the cake. The bus had to be cooled down, it was hot.
