The landscape and infrastructure of Uehara of is a juxtaposition from the quintessential image of modern day Japan; the town centre is a quaint collection of shops, cafes and restaurants, bound together by a small, steady stream of tourism mixed with the locals maintaining their simplistic lifestyle. The day tripper and the short term visitor are both catered for by the few amenities in the town; supermarkets sell local produce at a fairly cheap price and there are some fine restaurants serving some traditional Japanese cuisine. The lack of entertainment and landmarks means that many only use Uehara as a layover point before moving on to more popular tourist destinations. However, for anyone longing for a few days amid peace and tranquillity, the relaxed environment is perfect for whiling away the hours.
A couple of rental car companies are in operation around the town, though most choose to walk around the serene surroundings.
