The only museum in the world that specializes in the Tale of Genji, which has been loved by many for over 1,000 years.
At Uji City Tale of Genji Museum, opened in 1998, we utilize models and videos to introduce the world Hikaru Genji and “Uji Juccho”. At our exhibition section, which is categorized into different themes, we play videos that tell the appealing factors of the Tale of Genji, what life was like then, and the culture behind it. Our library has over 3,000 volumes that visitors can read and enjoy. We also host lectures for visitors to learn more about the Tale of Genji and the Heian period.
