Village of clear streams and Uji tea

Fukujuen Uji Kobo

宇治茶亭
福寿園宇治工房

The Uji Kobo is located in Uji, the source of Japanese tea and the place where Uji tea culture has been handed down from generation to generation. Across the scenic Asagiri Bridge and Nakanoshima Island in the clear waters of the Uji River, there are two stores: the Ujicha Kobo on the right bank, and the Ujicha Tei on the left bank.

The Ujicha Kobo (on the right bank) is a workshop that preserves and nurtures traditions, with a tea-making experience and cafes where visitors can enjoy meals and sweet treats made with tea. Visitors can also shop, take a tour, and enjoy Uji tea culture.

At the Ujicha Tei (left bank), visitors can enjoy a "short break" and a "short experience" while admiring the view of the Uji River and the mountains of Uji.
