Bonjour !
It's around 9 a.m. and I'm waiting for you at the hotel.
After a transfer by private car to Kōshōji, where Pierre is waiting for us, we finally enter the temple.
Naturally, you can also chose to come by your own means (train, bus). The transport system in Kyōto and Uji is excellent.
Wherever your city center accomodation is, you will never be more than 1 hour away from Kōshōji. It is also easy to reach the temple from Ōsaka and Nara.
Meal & Free time
The meal we will share is a bentō, the traditional Japanese picnic. Simple, hearty, varied and fresh, it is always subtle and delicious. We will propose you to reserve one among several choice in advance.
We work directly with a family business in Uji, our host town, and their choices will be our proposals, changing according to season.
"I would rather go to the restaurant"
The area around the temple and the center of Uji are full
of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and flavors. We won't deny it!
For those who wish to continue the afternoon with an outdoor activity, lunch in a restaurant is a very suitable option.
Beny, your personal majordome on-site, will handle restaurant reservation, and make sure everyone's needs
are met.
