What guests think
At Hanayashiki Ukifune-en, travelers consistently praise the serene riverside setting with beautiful Uji River views, traditional spacious rooms, soothing public and private baths, and warm, helpful staff, while noting some dated areas and the longer walk from Uji Station.
Breakfast is widely described as tasty and traditional, but on-site dining runs on limited days with reservations needed, and nearby options can close early. Rooms are usually clean and comfortable, though parts of the property and some bathrooms feel worn or outdated, with occasional maintenance, odors, or insects on window exteriors mentioned. Overall, it suits those seeking a traditional, peaceful base in Uji.

Stayed with wife and two kids in a deluxe Japanese style room with private bath. Hotel is situated on a beautiful property. Room was big and “fairly” clean. Understanding room was Japanese style it is still really out dated. Some walls marked up, toilet was yellowed from age. Amenities listed included shuttle from train. When we called to arrange shuttle we were told unavailable. Took over an hour waiting for taxi in the rain. Message to the property regarding this went ignored. When we arrived the restaurant was closed that day and no food or store nearby. When we woke up the restaurant was closed again so no food for the family. TVs are small and outdated, property claimed we could connect to streaming to watch English shows but it did not work, when we called the office they put a gentleman on that did not help. The view from the room and bath is very nice overlooking the river but that was really the only nice part of the stay. Bath was nice but they have re caulked it very messily which subtracted from any luxurious feel. Beds were comfortable in the room but not living room, blankets were duvets and quite nice. Overall, property has a lot of potential but we left unsatisfied based on the price and service

Vacker utsikt från rummet. Nära templet, kort promenad från stationen och butiker. Bra AC samt luftrenare på rummen. Stilen på rummen var traditionell, aningens slitet, men med charm. Behagliga täcken och bäddplatser. Fint onsen med torrbastu.

Very nice Royukan the sauna and hot bath were excellent and great for relaxing after a long and VERY cold day. Facility was a little beat up but probably because it’s been there for a while but it adds to its beauty. Could see the river from my room, had beautiful views of the mountain as well.

宇治川沿いの景色が素晴らしく素敵な宿泊を家族と出来て満足しています。 大浴場も男女入れ替え制の為、夜と朝の両方とも満喫し、嬉しい。 スタッフの方々が、とても優しい。 今時のホテルでは無いが、良き風情と宇治らしい趣のある良いホテルである。 コロナで大変であろうが、頑張って欲しいと願います。 宇治は食事処が少ないので、ホテルレストランの充実があれば、なお良いと思いました。 素敵な1泊、ありがとうございました。

A beautiful stay in a traditional Japanese ryokan. Room was spacious with floor table for tea. We had a spectacular view of the river and mountain. A quiet place away from the crowds. Spa was nice and relaxing with two hot tubs, one indoor and one outdoor. About a 16 minute walk to Uji Station. Hotel manager was nice enough to give us a free ride to the train station.

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.

This is a wonderful ryokan. The building, location and room are great. we got the room with an partial open air bath and it was excellent. The staff was professional, kind and helpful. We felt very welcome even as foreigners. I do wish that expedia would list the schedule for the dining options because the Ryokan restaurants are only open certain days and require reservation so we missed out on dinner. It's a bit of a long walk from the train station but not terrible. It should also be noted on the expedia page that they will pick you up but you have to schedule 48hrs in advance.

Massive room overlooking the fast-flowing river. Can’t open the windows as it’s buggy. Expensive place, as it’s a spa. I really struggled with sleeping on futons. 10 minutes riverside walk to town past the shops for matcha stuff that cater to day-trippers. There’s a really good Starbucks very near, but ABC in town is best for coffee and cakes.

This is a wonderful ryokan. The building, location and room are great. we got the room with an partial open air bath and it was excellent. The staff was professional, kind and helpful. We felt very welcome even as foreigners. I do wish that expedia would list the schedule for the dining options because the Ryokan restaurants are only open certain days and require reservation so we missed out on dinner. It's a bit of a long walk from the train station but not terrible. It should also be noted on the expedia page that they will pick you up but you have to schedule 48hrs in advance.

I had a very pleasant stay. The staff was very friendly, the room was fantastic. The view and location was outstanding! My friends and I had many scenic photos in and around the ryokan. Also, the indoor bath was wonderful too!

A beautiful stay in a traditional Japanese ryokan. Room was spacious with floor table for tea. We had a spectacular view of the river and mountain. A quiet place away from the crowds. Spa was nice and relaxing with two hot tubs, one indoor and one outdoor. About a 16 minute walk to Uji Station. Hotel manager was nice enough to give us a free ride to the train station.

Scenic, quiet setting right on the Uji River near temples, shops, and trails. It is a 15-20 minute walk from Uji Station, and evening dining nearby can be limited.

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.

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.

20 minute walk from train station to the property. No eating locations nearby, need to walk 20 minutes back to find a place to eat. Most places nearby close early, around 6pm, so it was a challenge to find places for dinner. The property advertises a steak restaurant but it requires a reservation. We tried making a reservation more than once but each time was told that there were no openings. Then when we walked by the restaurant later it was completely empty, lights on, but no one in there. It seems the restaurant isn’t even open anymore. Be warned that the property’s website is very misleading. Our expectations for the property were much higher after viewing the website but we were disappointed to find that the photos and some amenities listed on the website are not accurate. For example the website mentions that a shuttle is available to pick guest up from the station. In reality, there was no shuttle. We had to walk or find a taxi.

Stayed with wife and two kids in a deluxe Japanese style room with private bath. Hotel is situated on a beautiful property. Room was big and “fairly” clean. Understanding room was Japanese style it is still really out dated. Some walls marked up, toilet was yellowed from age. Amenities listed included shuttle from train. When we called to arrange shuttle we were told unavailable. Took over an hour waiting for taxi in the rain. Message to the property regarding this went ignored. When we arrived the restaurant was closed that day and no food or store nearby. When we woke up the restaurant was closed again so no food for the family. TVs are small and outdated, property claimed we could connect to streaming to watch English shows but it did not work, when we called the office they put a gentleman on that did not help. The view from the room and bath is very nice overlooking the river but that was really the only nice part of the stay. Bath was nice but they have re caulked it very messily which subtracted from any luxurious feel. Beds were comfortable in the room but not living room, blankets were duvets and quite nice. Overall, property has a lot of potential but we left unsatisfied based on the price and service

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!

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.

We loved our stay at this beautiful ryokan. The surroundings are so gorgeous and peaceful being right next to the river. Our room was comfortable for our family of 4, and we greatly enjoyed the stunning and delicious kaiseki dinner. Email them directly to arrange the dinner as they also provided a kid version for our younger son. They were very accommodating and responsive to all our needs. I definitely hope we can return again!
