Immerse yourself in the world of the Tale of Genji while walking around the city of Uji

This monument is the main symbol of the Ten Chapter of Uji, it represents all the monuments around the city that individually mark the 10 chapters. The image itself is a representation of the heroine Ukifune and Prince Niou as they set off by small boat onto the Uji River. This is a good place to reflect on their individual story and the story they belong to, as well as for taking photographs or resting during a walk around Uji.
