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.

I loved staying at the Uji Tea Inn so much. The owner and staff are so sweet and helpful and we felt very welcome. The best part was being able to stay in Uji close to so many matcha and tea shops and in a quiet neighborhood. The Inn is also only an 8-10 minute walk to the Nintendo Museum! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend anyone visiting Kyoto to check out Uji. Booking a private bathroom and triple room for the two of us was VERY worth it, especially if you're planning to stay multiple nights!

Distance from the stations isn't too close, but still a doable 15-20 minute walk to Ogura and JR-Ogura.

Location is great for walking to the Nintendo Museum. Owner was very accomodating and let me park my motorcycle for free past the time I had checked out (so I didn't have to pay for parking around the Nintendo Museum). It was also nice to walk around the more agricutural-centric areas of Kyoto. Laundry available for a modest fee, which was helpful. Interior was nice and rustic, and felt appropriate. Bathroom and shower were small, but happy to have my own (instead of shared). Good value as a guest house!

The street right outside can get a little loud with scooters wizzing past, but I slept fine with earplugs in (which iI usually put in anyway).

It was wonderful and memorable staying in this 100-year Japanese house for 18 nights. The guesthouse was in a peaceful quiet neighborhood and it's ~20-min cycling distance from the main Uji tourists area. The cycling route was enjoyable. The hosts were super nice. They helped me rent a bike from a local store promptly, shared lots of local travel tips and stories. I particularly love the big and super clean kitchen with all the necessary amenities readily available. The small garden provides good ventilation to the house. I would definitely come back again if I have chance. The tea cafe Morihan just 2 mins away was also a nice place for a relaxing afternoon.

Clean and well set up place to stay. We found a local restaurant around the corner and had a great time in a local area. Super clean and Host lovely. We took a taxi from station to Uji Tea Inn as it was so hot. We walked to station the next day around 10 mins.

We were happy with our stay and have no complaints at all. If you are looking for a unique place to stay this place is good at a good price and spotless clean

It was prime location for the Nintendo Museum. The executive suite was well worth the price. Loved the old timey feel of the room with the updated facilities. Staff was nice, friendly, and helpful. Having the two aircon systems helped the circulate the air to deal with the Tatami floor mat smell.

Tatami floor mats had a smell I wasn't expecting but other Tatami mat places I stayed at had the same smell so it's just the smell of Tatami mats.

I love traditional Japanese style homes, so this was such a fun experience to actually live in one for a few days! There were also a variety of restaurants nearby (katsudon, sushi, italian, indian) and the JR train station is easy to get to (you just walk straight until you see the station, so easy). It was my first time using a futon, and it was really soft and warm. I would recommend being able to speak at least some Japanese if you choose to stay here, because the owner did the whole introduction in Japanese!!

I liked everything!

Hayashi and the housekeeper are both gems, and the location is so close to the Nintendo Museum. It's awesome! If you're looking for a great experience that you can tell all your friends, I definitely recommend staying at this inn!

I really had to get used to the sleeping arrangements.The location is a good bit out of the way from a majority of the action in Kyoto, but that does lead to overall quieter nights.

The location is perfect that only few minutes away from the station meanwhile can enjoy the local community atmosphere and quietness. There is a supermarket runs 24h and a book store nearby. The property has a shared kitchen with everything needed. Laundry room is also available with a reasonable additional charge. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming.

Loved our stay here!

Walls were thin! I would recommend that there are quiet hours after a certain amount of time! We could hear someone scrolling through TikTok in the middle of the night with very high volume!
