Uji is the setting of the last ten chapters of the 54 chapters of “The Tale of Genji” written by Murasaki Shikibu. Uji has been loved as a place for aristocrats to do their other jobs since that time. The “Uji City Tale of Genji Museum,” which opened in 1998, is the only museum in the world where visitors can become familiar with the Tale of Genji and the culture of the Heian period through reconstructed models and videos. Please take your time and enjoy the gorgeous world of The Tale of Genji.
