Uji Livrare Flori Florarie

Ideally situated midway between Nara and Kyoto, Uji is a historical city and the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area. Teeming with beautiful temples, such as the Byodin and the Mampukuji temples, history is all around. The nearby Nara area is the perfect place to head when based in Uji for those who want to snap some photographs of beautiful flowers in the area. The Manyo Botanical Gardens are a short ride away from Uji. This beautiful oasis features stunning floral and plant displays throughout the year, however the best views come from the burst of color from the cherry blossoms and vibrant violet clusters in the spring. In the early summer you will be rewarded with the shock of color that comes from the gorgeous azalea and the trailing wisteria. The entire city itself is awash with beautiful wisteria in many different hues in early spring. Nara city is also an excellent base for exploring the area – nearby Katsuragi Kodo has one of the most gorgeous azalea displays near Uji for example or you can travel to the Murouji Rhododendron festival in May to enjoy its fabulous display of colors. Finally- and this is not to be missed – a trip along the Lotus Road will take you past three temples and allow you to view over 100 types of lotus flower, as well as the early morning opening of the water lilies.
