https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnJCLjjZoAe4VXUW8
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rotaxy4YhG8a1tYv9
They also have shops in Kyoto
Typically I would suggest you sample and go to these places that have cafes
That way you can sample a variety and see which you like best
Its also best to tell the shopkeepers what you're looking for and then they can provide you with a suggestion
Tell them you're looking for matcha and that you're looking for specific flavors/qualities
Even with google translate or deepL, that'll help narrow down what to suggest for you
You should head to Uji anyways
For the temple
Byodoin
Head to Uji for the temple and then try out a variety of tea houses in the area, you can check my list for recc.
I'd also recommend picking up accessories for enjoying matcha if you haven't already
Bamboo brushes, cups, pots, etc
Uji is best as a day trip
Go there in the morning and check out the temple and then enjoy tea houses until mid to late afternoon
The temple opens at 8:30 AM, so you want to get there at 8:30 AM
Go do that and then explore the town a bit until the teahouses open up
Then hop between tea houses and get lunch while you're there
Then leave at like 1-3 PM, depending on your speed
There's a lot of tea houses and shops selling tea, so just explore and window shop
and basically enjoy a ton of cups of tea
It'll be relaxing and peaceful
By the time you're done with Uji
You can easily hop over to Osaka to enjoy it for the evening
Get dinner there and then check out the night life
gleaming saddle
The temple opens at 8:30 AM, so you want to get there at 8:30 AM

@fierce bolt If you want to copy my plan then do the temple first, then do the first 3 cafes. Then get lunch. After that do the last 2 cafes and then the confectionary shop
tough storm
For lunch
Basically you're doing temple for 45 minutes to 1 hour and so you'll be done by 9:15 to 9:30, then you'll make your way over to the first cafe. Do the cafes about 20-30 minutes each, then get lunch. Wander more and go see the last 2 cafes + confectionary shop.
You should be done around like 3 PM and that's taking it nice and slow
4 PM if you want to wander a lot more
If you rush it, you can finish them by like 12 to 1 PM
