Lonely Planet review

The Tsūen-jaya, located just across from the station, is Japan's oldest surviving tea shop and has been in the Tsūen family for more than 830 years. The present building, near Uji-bashi, dates from 1672 and is full of interesting antiques. You can try fresh matcha (powdered green tea) and sweets for around ¥680 .
