Ujitawara, Tea production town in Tsuzuki district, Japan
Ujitawara spreads across 58 square kilometers in Kyoto Prefecture, with forested areas covering 70 percent of its territory, including cedar and cypress trees.
The municipality formed through the merger of Tawara and Ujitawara villages in 1956, evolving from its roots as part of the Tokugawa shogunate holdings.
Nagatani Soen developed the manufacturing method for Japanese green tea in the Yuyadani area, establishing Ujitawara as a center of tea production.
Local transportation connects through Yamashiro-Aodani and Yamashiro-Taga stations on the JR West Nara Line, while National Route 307 provides road access.
The town maintains two industrial parks, Ujitawara Industrial Park and Midorienzaka Techno Park, housing 60 businesses amid traditional tea plantations.
