Vanlife Japan Ch 47: Meccha Matcha!
We visited Uji in Kyoto, Japan, to explore Byodo-in (also known as the temple on ten yen coins) and to seek out the best matcha in Japan and some truly unique Japanese street food combinations. Even if you don't drink green tea, a trip to Uji will 100% change your mind! Come for a Japan food and culture tour and discover the best things to do in Uji AND the cheapest and tastiest street food Kyoto has to offer.
