Uji, Kyoto, Japan｜Nakamura Tokichi Byodo-in

Beautiful dessert spot overlooking the water. There is seating outside, on the ground floor and also level 1. It’s first come first serve basis with no ticketing system so be sure to find a spot before you order. Ordered the parfait and fresh tea jelly which were both delicious! They also serve complimentary hot tea and lids to take the drinks to go. There is also a gift shop located on the side.

Arrived around 1230pm on Saturday, it was already full house, had to wait for 20min to find a seat. Advise to find a seat before order. The tea and ice cream are superb, the richness of matcha taste is completely satisfying. Highly recommend to come and try!

great location to decompress while admiring the view. parfait was amazing - the matcha and hojicha tea taste really shone through with just the perfect amount of sweetness. honestly worth the price tag for the beautiful scenery and tranquility. it’s a self-service kind of place - so you find your seats first before placing order digitally and self-collect your food when number is called.
