Stayed here last Saturday and Sunday, and it was one of the highlights of my Japan trip! After a week of walking through different cities, it felt amazing to finally borrow a Japanese bike from the hostel — such a memorable experience. 🚲 The location is perfect — very easy to find and close to everything you’d want to see in Uji. From top-tier specialty coffee and matcha shops to just relaxing by the river, everything is within walking (or biking!) distance. My room was neat and cozy, complete with a television, AC, and a comfy futon. The common area was also a huge plus — you can borrow glasses and plates for takeout meals, and there’s a fridge where you can store food. This is super convenient since most shops close by 5–6 PM. I loved the chill atmosphere and how this place made my Uji stay feel extra special. ✨ I’m definitely hoping to revisit Uji and stay here again!

Beautiful historic house with a lovely traditional garden. Specious common area with a full kitchen (range, microwave, large fridge, dish dryer. Complementary Green Tea & Coffee (yes, they do have single serve milk/cream pods and sugar for those of you who need it :-)) Spotless shower, toilet and bathroom areas. Stay comes with bath towel and a face towel. Four WiFi routers to connect to with plenty of outlets for all your electronics :-) Electronic access front door for 24hr access along with a room key. Tatami mats in rooms, hardwood floor in common areas. Japanese footon (firm) with duvet cover on top (very fluffy and cozy). One pillow, best for back sleepers. For Winter: heater in each room. For Summer: washi paper screens on windows so one can air out the room yet maintain privacy. Shower has both a body wash and shampoo inside. Everything one needs in a truly lovely house. The property is right next to a small temple; very suitable for a morning contemplation before setting out for the next leg of your journey. I highly recommend staying at this property.

It had spectacular views of the river and it was so peaceful. The staff are super helpful.
