Uji is said to be the home of matcha, but you can also do a variety of other activities in Uji, including Byodin Temple (which is on the back of the 10yen coin if you didn't know). It's quite a beautiful place.

If you are into tea ceremony, Kyoto is the place to go and there are tree major styles there. Urasenkei, Omotesenkei, Mushaokoujisennkei. http://japanese-tea-ceremony.net/schools.htmlIf you just want to enjoy tea ceremony, you can visit any temples in Kyoto and stop by tea room there. In Tokyo, there are not many tea garden, but I know one good one in Kamakura Jomyoji temple. Also, there are many things to visit in Kamakura/Enoshima area(one hour from Tokyo).

We went to the same 4 cities you're going to. We went for tea in Ginza at a shopping mall but not a real tea ceremony. We went to the tea ceremony En in Kyoto, it was a bit pricey for what you get but it was nice. When we were walking around Uji, it saw a few tea ceremony places and as alot of the tea comes from Uji, I would think it might be better than Kyoto but uncertain. Definitely Kyoto or Uji would be better than Tokyo or Osaka.
