Uji Park comprises Tower Island and Tachibana Island, floating on the Uji River. The park features Japan's largest, or one of the largest, thirteen-tiered stone pagodas. Well-maintained walking paths connect the islands via vermilion bridges, allowing you to stroll leisurely while experiencing the Uji River's flow up close. Summer is also known for the cormorant fishing season here, and numerous benches and rest shelters dot the riverside. We recommend checking out the night sky from the riverside where the fireworks will light up later.
Tips
About 10 minutes on foot from Ujigami Shrine along the Uji River. Admission is free. Some areas lack shade, so hydrate regularly. The area around Tachibana Bridge is popular for photography.
Best time to visit
Allow about 1 hour. The river breeze becomes particularly pleasant as evening approaches.
