I'd like to first thank the staff. Due to the recent typhoon causing transport issues, they were able to kindly arrange extended stay for us. And they also patiently helped us sort through our call to the next hotel to change check-in dates. Public/private bathrooms, breakfast and bedding I found all to be good. Our room had a good view from the window. The location is good if you are looking for somewhere to relax, away from the busier cities. We went to a couple of small tea houses and cafe/restaurants around the area. Uji has a local matcha factory, so I recommend at least trying one of the tea shops if you are interested. In Uji, it's quiet but the locals in restaurants seem quite happy for friendly chats.

We had already anticipated that the inn would be a bit far from Uji station. This may be a bit difficult to travel to while handling large luggages (especially during summertime). We decided to hire a taxi during check-in and check-out, which worked out well.

A beautiful location. Rriver view is outstanding! During cherry blossoms, it should be absolutely magical. The room is a great combination of a traditional ryokan and a modern hotel, has everything you need for comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. We also were allowed to leave our luggage before check-in. We visited public baths and liked it.

Very carrying staff. In the city idealy located. Onsen was nice with river views. The breakfeast with supra fresh eggs and river view.

Not enough plugs ? But they give multiplugs.

- located on the beautiful grounds of Uji - a lovely experience in a traditional house with futons & yakatas - kaiseki dinner & Japanese breakfast was great - onsen was great

- might be a bit far out of travelling by public transport/moving luggage around

We had a great stay at this ryokan. It’s super clean and confortable. It’s located in a good position. We recommend it! Traditional onsen was the cherry on top!

Private bath with river view on the junior suite.

Color of the wall, and oldish aspect. A paint job will be needed soon.

The view of the river is beautiful.

Very clean and nice room. Extremely beautiful view.

None

Location, view, traditional bedroom, onsen.

Room was nice, clean and spacious. Onsen was pleasant. Location was beautiful.

Asked staff some questions weeks before check-in but for some reason they only wrote back to me after check-out. Some facilities are straight up not available. It's said that they offer breakfast and dinner but they wouldn't even mention it. No washing service or at least washing machines. Instead they just told us that in a 20 min walk area there should be a self washing store. Sauna in the lower floor was not working. And at some days the Onsen would be luke-warm. Normally I'm not that picky but for that amount of money (which is a lot) I'd expect at least a problem free stay. Nothing too fancy, just problem free which wasn't the case. And even though it is at the Uji River which is ofc convenient, you have to walk 30 min every time to reach the nearest convenience store and train station. So yeah, it would have been great if you would at least be offered the option to get a hotel shuttle like other hotels.
