Why You Should Visit

Wazuka, the heartland of Uji tea production, holds its biggest festival of the year at Wazuka Sports Park and the facilities around it. Food stalls, food trucks, local-product booths and tea experiences fill the grounds, alongside an outdoor stage and hands-on woodworking and sports activities.
