Genuinely great stay. Uji Tea Inn is a lovely place to spend a few nights or more in Japan if you’re looking for a bit of an ‘authentic traditional’ living situation as opposed to a more western style room/hotel. The staff were lovely and the surrounding town of Uji is a wonderful humble suburban town that has just about everything you may need. I would absolutely stay here again if I were coming back to the Kyoto/Osaka area!

This is a lovely place to stay if you’re visiting Kyoto. There are two stations within a 15 minute walk, so traveling anywhere is quite easy. There is a kitchen so that you can cook (or in my case, warm up my conbini breakfast), as well as laundry. The staff is very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed staying here away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto city.

This was a great stay, near a lot of great food options in Uji. The room was wonderful and the staff was lovely. It was harder to find due to it being kind of tucked away with a lot less signage/lighting than i was expecting as the door was locked when we arrived so we were uncertain if we were in the right place.

Absolutely will be coming back here! Uji is such a beautiful small town with many hidden gems to discover. The staff were extremely accomodaing and easy to talk to, even with my broken Japanese! They were happy to tell me about the area, its history and key places to visit while I was there. Can't wait to come back next year and spend more time adventuring around this little gem ❤️

Comfortable room!
The room is clean and comfy; hosts are nice and the common area is tranquil. Room is on the smaller side especially the washroom. Only downside is that the curtain blind in our room is not blackout so it gets bright 5AM in the morning; it’s an older building so soundproof is lacking. We still enjoyed our 3-night stay and will come back without a heartbeat!

Cozy Inn in Uji
It was an absolutely amazing stay at Uji Tea Inn. The owners are really friendly and welcoming. It’s as if I was staying with a host family rather than an inn. Throughout my stay, I felt looked after which was great as I was travelling alone. And while it may not be luxurious as a hotel chain, I enjoyed my stay here more than any of the 3 star hotels I stayed at for the rest of my travels. The rooms are traditional tatami mat and futon. It may not be for everyone especially those used to springy or cushy beds but it is the traditional sleeping arrangement. I actually prefer futons as I found that the hotel rooms in Japan with western beds are way too small and I struggle to open my luggage. This inn used to be a machiya prior to renovation. The owners kept the essence of it in tact, so you get a mix of traditional architecture with modern day convenience. Renovations were only done shortly prior to covid so everything (toilets, showers) still looks new. That said, the rooms are not as sound proof as those in concrete buildings, but it is to be expected with traditional buildings. Do bring a pair of earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Generally it’s quiet past 9pm and remains so until 6am when people start to wake up and get ready for the day. All in all, I highly recommend anyone looking to visit Uji to stay for a fuss-free, local experience. And if you need recommendations, the owners are always happy to chat. Thank you again, Hayashi-san and family!
