💡 Tips for Visitors

The station is served by both JR and Keihan railway lines, so check which line your pass or ticket covers; JR Uji Station is slightly closer to Byodoin Temple. English signage is available but limited, so download a map app beforehand or pick up an English tourist map at the station information area. Most tea shops and restaurants in the area accept cash only, so withdraw yen before exploring the town.
