Autumn Adventure in Uji (rescheduled)

Now that complaining-about-the-heat season (a.k.a. summer) is over, and before complaining-about-the-cold season (a.k.a. winter) starts, let's take a second to enjoy Kansai's beautiful fall colors.

We'll explore Uji and its mountains, walk through the forest all the way to Amagase Dam and then make our way on the other side of the Uji river.

We should be back in town early enough to get a matcha latte, parfait, cake, or basically anything you want as long as it's matcha-flavored – that's kind of Uji's thing.
