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 ryokan style property served as a sanctuary for a night. The futons were comfortable. We slept very well to the sound of the rushing river and chirping crickets. It is walking distance to shops and restaurants. We will come back again in the near future.

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.

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.

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

It was quiet, peaceful, gorgeous, and such a beautiful place to stay. The staff were so accommodating, everything was clearly explained, and the onsens were perfect. We had such an incredible stay here and would come back any time. The only downside is its distance from the train station, but this doesn't bother me. It's worth the walk.

Dated and disappointed
The hotel is sorely out of date and needs a refresh. The rooms were not very clean, most notably the bathrooms and the terrace had not been cleaned for a long time and needed to be upgraded. We were only told that the restaurant was not open once we arrived, so had little choice for dinner as much of the town shuts after early evening. Staff were not able to effectively communicate in English upon our arrival and couldn't help us with any alterations. The photos promised much more than the reality, and we were disappointed with the stay as a whole.

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!
