🗺️🤔THE QUEST TO CATCH 'EM ALL(ish)🕳️✨In 2018 Kagoshima was the first prefecture in Japan to have Pokéfuta (ポケふた) installed. Pokémon manhole covers can now be found in 35 prefectures!I went to Uji to catch the latest 2 to appear in Kyōto.#Kyoto #ポケふた #宇治 #Pokémon #京都

In June this year two more Pokémon manhole covers appeared in Uji, the home of matcha in Japan.Both are within easy walking distance of the Keihan Uji Station (and not particularly far from the JR Uji Station).#Uji #宇治 #Byodoin #平等院 #matcha #抹茶 #Ujigamijinja #宇治上神社

Byodo-in, one of Japan's most famous temples.

Uji is the home of matcha in Japan, and you can find shops selling matcha flavoured everything.

Statue of Murasaki Shikibu in Uji...the later chapters of The Tale of Genji are set in this area.

Ujigami-jinja...the shrine's main hall is believed to be the oldest in Japan.

    The manhole cover can be found within the recently developed 'Uji and Tea Town Historical Park' (お茶と宇治のまち歴史公園), where you can see small tea plantations and a visitor's centre that doubles as a museum and exhibition space.#Uji #宇治 #matcha #抹茶 #Japan #Kyoto

    8)With the opening of the Nintendo Museum (ニンテンドーミュージアム) in Ogura, a new Pokéfuta was unveiled to celebrate.It is Kyōto's 8th and latest pokémon manhole cover.#ニンテンドーミュージアム #Uji #NintendoMuseum

    The Nintendo Museum also features interactive displays...this one utilizes your shadow to play a Game and Watch style game.

    An interactive Hyakunin Isshu Karuta style game. Participants use a handheld device and match cards shown with those on the display floor.

    The Nintendo Museum also features displays of the toys and boardgames Nintendo has produced in the past (this man and lion are part of a shooting game...when the laser hits a certain part they collapse).
