Best Uji Hotels

"Great location, short walk from Uni train station, in the middle of many attraction but not too busy. Staff very friendly but limited English ability. It does not hinder our enjoyment for the trip. Cons: We asked for non-smoking room, but got a smoking room. The smell of smoke was lingering, but not too bad after we open the window. Overall, great hotel and location. Would choose again."

"The environment is great, the location is great, right by the Uji River, all rooms are facing the river, and there is a small balcony to enjoy the view~ The room is very Japanese style, pure tatami, and the layout is very warm~ There are two hot springs, open-air and indoor, separated by time for men and women, both can be experienced, and there was no one there when I went~ The room has a small bathtub, but it is indeed not as good as going to a hot spring~ Matcha-flavored fruits and tea bags were given, and it was quite nourishing to make tea and eat something in the room~ In fact, there are few tourists staying in Uji, and the hotel is very quiet~ The name of the hotel seems to come from the Tale of Genji, the content of the Uji Ten Chapters~"

"We arrived before check-in time, but the staff were very kind. The free beer was very much appreciated. The overall impression was good, but the pillow came off from the pillowcase when I went to sleep.... I was surprised. The pillowcase was clean, but the pillow itself....It was mottled and brown, as if it had been soaked in coffee or something.... I was very shocked. It was the first time I had seen such a dirty pillow. Although the pillow was dirty, I was satisfied with everything else."

"The owner is friendly and the facilities are ok. Private locker is paid and there is no TV instead. It's also an advantage to see the owner only when I first greeted and even check out is unmanned. Recommended during off-season. You can use a four-person room alone. The location is a bit out of the way because it is Uji, but it is not too far from Kyoto Station."

"Very traditional Japanese style tatami. The location is very good, right in the scenic area. You can see beautiful cherry blossoms next to the river. The owner also runs a restaurant, which is very unique. There is a garden market on weekends, which is very lively, but a bit noisy. The room has no curtains and is not suitable for late risers. It is also a long way from the subway station and it is a bit difficult to walk with large luggage."

"I stayed here for two days in Kyobuki Tour. The house is nice and the surrounding environment is quite quiet. It is 2 kilometers away from the center of Uji. Just be aware that the check-in time is 4 pm. If you go there too early, there will be no one around. Just call the staff. I don't want to care about you and want you to wait. I arrived at three o'clock and was exposed to the cold wind for a long time in the humid air. I even put on a snow mountain jacket and couldn't bear it. But this is indeed my own problem. I didn't pay attention to the check-in time, but it was also a bit uncomfortable because the staff was not humane enough."
