This ryokan style property served as a sanctuary for a night. The futons were comfortable. We slept very well to the sound of the rushing river and chirping crickets. It is walking distance to shops and restaurants. We will come back again in the near future.

Beautiful location on the banks of the Uji River. The walks we took along the river with the lovely scenery and autumn leaves were truly memorable. Room was spacious, clean, comfortable and functional, and the balcony overlooking the river was wonderful. Really appreciate the hot bath after a cold day out. Location is near many places of attractions including the Byodoin Temple and shopping streets. Uji station is about 2km walk away. Would suggest posting heavy luggages to the hotel; we struggled with our luggage as we walked from Uji station to the hotel. Hotel staff were courteous and super helpful. They efficiently helped to post our luggages to our next hotel in Tokyo, arriving there the next day. Highly recommended.

We only stayed one night- we had amazing massages, and an incredible Japanese breakfast.
The room is as pictured, spacious and comfortable. The staff were lovely and helped us order a late Uber eats dinner. Stay two nights so you can explore the area (we didn’t have time).

It was quiet, peaceful, gorgeous, and such a beautiful place to stay. The staff were so accommodating, everything was clearly explained, and the onsens were perfect. We had such an incredible stay here and would come back any time.
The only downside is its distance from the train station, but this doesn't bother me. It's worth the walk.

We had a lovely stay in Uji at this property. The service was fantastic! We loved the room, especially the personal onsen. We had an especially delicious meal at the steakhouse on the property, with an incredibly kind and attentive chef. Would definitely recommend eating there if you get the chance!

LOVED staying here! The building itself is a little bit dated and this includes the check-in/dining area BUT the rooms were fantastic! We were blown away! Amazing/relaxing views, great amenities, comfortable beds - our only regret was not staying longer.
