My favorite place in Japan

 One of my favorite places in Japan is Uji in Kyoto.  I went there 2 years ago with my cousin and my sister.  I went there in winter and I spent the last days before new year.  Before I went to Uji, I went to Kyoto.  I hadn't been to Kyoto, and I imagined that Kyoto had a lot of old buildings and was a beautiful city in Japanese style.  However, the exact city was different from my image.  First, Kyoto Station was a big building and very new, and it was not in Japanese style.  Next, I heard that Kyoto is supposed that the buildings' height is ordered, but the buildings were taller than my image.  I was very disappointed.  When I arrived at Uji, I thought that this is the very place that I imagined!  There are not a lot of people, the buildings are not high, and there was a nice atmosphere in the city.
 In Uji, there are some temples, for example, Byo-doin Hohoh-do.  And there is the Uji river.  Both Byo-doin and Uji river are very beautiful.  Uji is famous about powdered green tea, named Uji-macha.  I ate an ice cream made from it and drunk the tea made by it.  Both of them were very delicious.  I love them.
 By the way, in winter, there are not many events in Kyoto.  Maybe, there are only two events, Christmas and New Year Day's Eve.  But I think cold temperature or snow make Uji be nice atmosphere.  So, I recommend that you go to Uji in winter.  If you like Uji powdered green tea, you will be able to enjoy more.
