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). -
After Michinaga passed away in 1027 the 'Uji Palace' (宇治殿) came into possession of his son Yorimichi (藤原頼通 992–1074).
When Yorimichi turned 60 years old he was inspired to transform the sprawling site into a temple, and made the priest Myōson (明尊 971-1063) first abbot.

Byōdō-in's (平等院) Hōō-dō (鳳凰堂 'Phoenix Hall') was completed in 1053.

For a long time it was believed that crape myrtles had been imported to Japan from the mainland some time in the Edo period, but recently pollen was discovered in the pond bed at Byōdō-in (平等院) that confirmed trees were growing here before the temple (completed in 1052)!😮

Trans. David Lanoue.There's been a trellis at Byōdō-in (平等院) for more than 250 years, supporting a huge wisteria (surely one of the city's most photographed).
