add-Hostel Uji Cha-gan-ju-tei

The host is very friendly and attentive. She speak little English but she will try her best to help you in any assistance you requested. The hostel itself it's very cozy home feeling. It's more than a hostel facilities when you can get a common area with kitchen, espresso machine, fridge, drinking water. If you are stayed in for more than 2 days I believe the washing machine and dryer would be amazing for you. The location is perfect with walking to any tourist spot, located nearby with foods, convenient stores & etc.

Uji is a wonderful town and a good base to explore Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and Uji itself. This hostel is conveniently located close to the train station. The hostess at the front desk was very helpful and explained everything at check-in. Excellent communal facilities with washer, dryer, nice showers with great water pressure, tea, fridges, basic kitchen, and free draft beer! If you are on a budget, they have very nice private rooms or dormitory style rooms that are well equipped.

The staff are super helpful and kind, check-in was swift and we were very happy with our tatami private room. We only stayed there 2 nights. We were shown around the amenities before settling in our room. There was free beer and coffee in the common kitchen, which was a perk. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We mainly used the hotel as a place to crash whilst exploring Kyoto. It is around 20-40 mins away on the train to Kyoto and, depending on which 'Uji' station you end up using, a 10-20 min walk away from the station. Also worth noting that Uji is in between Kyoto and Nara so if you are planning on going to Nara it is not too far on the train! Would stay there again if we had the chance.

The furnish and cleanliness. It is about 10min walk with some luggage but it is also 10min to Byodoin. It is away from the main shopping street but everywhere is walkable. There is a supermarket, restaurants and a food mart to buy cooked dishes.

The staff was super nice. They let me enter before check in time and they were very friendly. The check out time is also very good. Not so often they let you leave until 11am. The room is in Japanese style and it was very beautiful. It has all amenities that you need. It's located near all the touristic area. I would stay there again.
