Lonely Planet review for Tsūen-jaya

Another stop for a taste of Uji’s famed green tea is Tsūen-jaya, located just across from the station. Japan’s oldest surviving tea shop, Tsūen-jaya 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 (powered green tea), including a sweet, for ¥680.
