The "Uji Tea Monument" is located at the main entrance of Byodo-in Temple. Please note that the entrance is the south gate, so it is the main gate. In 1879, the "National Tea Making Association" held in Yokohama was awarded a special first prize for the production of Uji tea, and the "Uji Tea Memorial" was built to commemorate this. The inscription is said to be the brush of the late Prince Kunomiya Asahiko. It is the origin of Uji tea, which Uji is proud of in the world.

It is a monument that stands near Byodo-in Temple and behind the ticket office. The distorted stones were engraved with brush-brushed characters, and at first glance, it was difficult to understand what kind of monument it was. It was only a matter of finding out when I approached it, and it seemed to be a monument for honor because it was a tea production area.
