Hotels in Uji

"The original plan was to stay here for only one night, and then rush to stay near Nara Park after visiting the Nintendo Museum the next day, so that I could get up early to feed the deer. However, it is really comfortable to live nearby. I really like this kind of small town with few people. Considering that Nara is not far away, I simply stayed one more night and took the rail transit to Nara the next day. It is recommended to stroll around the roads around the B&B, the matcha factory store, the large farmland, the children catching frogs, the teenagers practicing baseball, and the several nearby hotels."

"The hotel is right next to the Uji River, and we could see water birds and egrets in the river just by opening the balcony window. Definitely remember to close the balcony door at night, or you'll be dealing with all sorts of moths! 😭 The hotel has its own hot spring. The men's bath is on the first floor and the women's is on the third, and a soak really helps relieve travel fatigue. Breakfast was very plentiful and a traditional Japanese set meal, which was quite unique. It's very close to Byodo-in Temple and Uji Shrine. We even paid our respects to the Moon God this trip, wishing for our desires to come true. Uji is beautiful and unlike Osaka and Kyoto, it's not packed with tourists. I recommend staying for a night to truly experience its tranquil Japanese atmosphere."

"The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating they spoke basic english and they made the effort to translate to help. Service with a smile and I particularly liked that they had everything you needed in terms of amenities such as provided you with face wash, hair shampoo, cleanser etc. They also had a microwave which was handy for you to heat up food from the nearby 7/11 would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again."

"It's OK, but the public toilet is still inconvenient. The tatami is hard and uncomfortable, and the pillow is very high. The soundproofing is average, but the people are of high quality, so it's not too noisy. There is a kitchen on the second floor. In addition to tea and coffee, there is also beer on weekdays! If you want to experience tatami, you can come and stay for a while. The price is too high on weekends, not worth it."

"The owner is friendly and the facilities are good. Water purifier in the room. Personal lockers are provided, but there is no TV. The advantage is that I only saw the owner when I first greeted him, and even check-out was unmanned. Recommended during the off-season. It is possible to share a 4-person room by yourself. Because it is Uji, the location is a bit out of the way, but it is not far from Kyoto Station."

"Decent for budget travelers. Mostly self-service. If you’re a single female traveler, you might feel uncomfortable since the hotel proprietor isn’t there, though he is available online."
