If you want to have a quiet night at Uji, this hotel will be a good choice. It’s next to the Uji river and has a walkable distance to Byodoin and Uji shrine. Wish we have time to stay here for few more nights next time.

Beautiful located by the river with a great view. Our particular room we got was a nice room with a gorgeous view but I don’t this all rooms have been remodeled to be as nice as ours. Also, the hallways and some common area could use some update. Breakfast was great for someone who loves Japanese breakfast. No other options on that. Don’t miss out on a restaurant that the hotel is attached to called Satori, amazing course meal. Would stay there again.
