A bit far from the center but there is a bus close and also a direct train into Kyoto 10mins walk from the inn

Lovely traditional Japanese inn. Very helpful and friendly staff

Uji Tea Inn offers a perfect blend of convenience and traditional charm. Located just 8 minutes from the nearest station, it’s an excellent base for exploring both historic Uji and Kyoto (only 30 minutes by train). I rented a bicycle to explore the old town center, which was delightful. The inn is surrounded by green tea companies, including a famous matcha producer just a few minutes’ walk away - perfect for tea enthusiasts! Practical amenities abound: a 24/7 supermarket with fresh products is right by the station. Inside, the inn is cozy and peaceful. My room was small but clean and comfortable. The shared kitchen and living room with a nice dining table made it easy to feel at home. The owners are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Japan’s tea culture while maintaining easy access to Kyoto’s attractions.

I have slept on tatami before and never had issues, but this one in particular was really not comfortable.

The living room with a big table overlooking the zen garden, perfect to sit there while having your morning drink. Coffee and tea provided for free are of great quality, we had many cups evert morning during our stay. Nice bathroom in the room.

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.

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.

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!

Loved our stay here!

Kinda far from everything.

The bed was super comfy and it had enough space.

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.

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).

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!

Beautiful guest house style accommodation in the Uji Tea region of Kyoto. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Traditional rooms with tatami mats and futon beds as well as en suites for select rooms. Beautiful, clean rooms with common kitchen and living area.

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

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!

Taps in the shower room didn't work well.

Very comfortable and Relaxing. It was traditional Japanese Inn-like. The staff recommended restaurant nearby was absolutely great!! Thanks.

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.

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!

It's still a bit of a walk from the train station but that can't be helped!

I loved that it's in a residential neighbourhood that's a few doors away from Tea Square Morihan and tea plantations in the surrounding areas. The inn was very clean, spacious and felt like home. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay on the outskirts of Uji!

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

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.
