Uji Tea Inn Guest House in Uji, Japan

What guests think

Uji Tea Inn offers a quiet, traditional ryokan-style stay in Uji with very clean spaces, modern bathrooms, and useful self-catering facilities, though soundproofing is thin and the suburban location is a bit away from Kyoto’s center.

Rooms feature tatami floors and futon bedding with an appealing mix of old charm and recent renovations. Service is warmly reviewed, with early luggage help, local tips, multilingual support, and even a lift to an ATM. Trains are reachable on foot and the area is near tea shops and the Nintendo museum, but several guests found it a long walk with heavy bags or harder to find. Expect a calm, authentic stay best for travelers who value tradition over full hotel amenities.

Service is really good. The inn is small and cosy with unlimited tea and coffee for guests. I really like the Japanese decor in the inn. The only downside is there is no noise proofing so you will hear every noise anyone makes. If you don't intend to sleep in, then it's not an issue. Nearby is the morihan tea square, a must - experience.

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.

住宿環境很乾淨（特別是旅館的毛巾令人印象深刻，一般民宿的毛巾常比較陳舊，但這間旅館的毛巾清潔得很乾淨，宛如全新的），周遭環境也很安靜。旅館在小巷子裡，不過如果有開車的話停車很方便，就在旅館對面有一小片空地可停車，收費600日圓/天。旅館老闆娘說中文，很親切。隔天想去餐廳用餐，請老闆娘幫忙訂位，老闆娘幫忙打了好幾通電話。入住當天有比較大的房間，老闆娘直接幫我們換到大房間，沒有額外收費。

Rooms

Traditional tatami-and-futon rooms blend old charm with newer fittings and modern showers; many find them comfortable. Noise travels between rooms or from the street, so light sleepers may want earplugs.

We got to explore Kyoto for a bit before we settled into our room. Nice and clean. Loved our first experience in a tatami mat sleeping area. Bathroom was amazing even though there is no soaking tub. Shower was fantastic. Far walk from subway if you have heavy luggage to roll and lug behind you. If that is not an issue, then you are good to stay here. The place had an old charm to it, but the room you may stay in is new and beautiful.

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!
