Fukujuen Uji Kobo offers comprehensive tea experiences on both banks of Uji River, with Ujicha Kobo on the right and Ujicha Tei on the left.
At Ujicha Kobo, there are various hands-on activities, such as making tea through a process including rolling, loosening, and kneading tea leaves. You can dry tea leaves on a ceramic plate, try making matcha green tea by grinding the tea leaves with a traditional stone mill, creating Asahiyaki pottery or painting it. Moreover, you can learn the etiquette of the tea ceremony of matcha and sencha (Japanese green tea that you brew, not whisk like matcha) in a tranquil tea-ceremony room. At the Museum and the Tea Garden area, you can visually experience the beauty of the culture of Uji tea, too.
When you get hungry, visit their cafeteria. They have various sweets and dishes made with Uji tea. You can brew and enjoy your own tea, too.
After exploring the world of Uji tea through multi-sensory experiences, visit the shop to find gifts for yourself and your loved ones, like high-quality tea, sweets made with tea, teaware including Asahiyaki pottery, and more.
(At the Ujicha Tei, you can enjoy eating, drinking and shopping, too.)
