EXCELLENT Based on 33 reviews Posted on CalvinVerified The perfect accommodation for exploring Uji! The townhouse is beautiful, clean and well located. Yasutaka was very friendly and helpful. He even gave me a bunch of recommendations. Overall, highly recommended!Posted on JoanneVerified A fantastic home in a great location. Close to the station with great transport links to Kyoto, Nara and the surrounding areas. The property had everything you could wish for to make your stay comfortable, and the amazing bath was an extra bonus! I would choose to stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you.Posted on YolaineVerified Yasutaka est un hôte accueillant. Il a pris le temps de tout nous expliquer concernant le logement qui était très bien équipé. Nous avons aimé le charme du logement. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour ne pas avoir froid et également une climatisation pour l’été. Le logement est sur une rue où il y a du passage en heure de pointe. Les bouchons d’oreille fournis par Yasutaka ont été utiles. Nous étions deux et nous avons préféré dormir dans la chambre car le panneau lumineux de « sortie de secours » ne nous plongeait pas dans une obscurité complète (ce qui est logique et efficace). De plus, la chambre est un peu plus isolée en terme de bruit extérieur. Yasutaka nous a également donné des recommandations sur les boutiques de matcha et c’était fort agréable. Pour résumer, le logement de Yasutaka est une belle pause paisible et charmante durant votre séjour au Japon. Et ce logement permet de prendre le temps de découvrir davantage la jolie ville d’Uji.Posted on JacimoVerified This was a lovely place, with plenty to do in Uji, as well as being easily accessible to Kyoto and NaraPosted on LorenaVerified Yasutaka was great to deal with from the first message to following up with enquiries. The place was amazing, súper clean, and welcoming and the location is great!! Literally 3 minutes walking from the train station. Our stay in Uji was a nice break after Tokyo and Osaka, the town is so peaceful and beautiful, if you plan a trip to Uji we would highly recommend staying at Yasutaka’s place you’llLove it!!Posted on NikolaiVerified Yasutaka's accommodation is perfectly located for convenience in Uji. Close to the train station and eateries. His kitchen is one of the better ones of all the accommodations we've stayed at. Very clean and functional. He took time to greet us at check in and explain every part of the house. including heating, appliances and addressed any questions we had. Furthermore holding onto our luggages after check out, allowing us to explore more of the area. A most pleasant stay.Posted on FungVerified 房東會逐一介紹設施,操流利英語,待人友善,入住舒適。Posted on DavinaVerified Gorgeous place in an old building with a lot of character. The house had several heaters, which kept us and our baby warm. It is a bit noisy next to the road, but we found it manageable. Clean and had everything we needed to cook.The bath was fanatastic!Close walk to shops and station. Would stay again!Posted on BarrieVerified 2月中入住,地點相當方便,從宇治站前往也很順路。早上大約 9:30 出門去中村藤吉,我們剛好能排到第一輪入場,行程安排起來很輕鬆。房子是非常雅緻的古民家,維護得很好,打掃也十分到位。房東回覆迅速、待客周到,還貼心準備了加濕器,冬天入住特別受用。浴室採用大面透明玻璃設計,且面向內園,採光開揚、很有特色。整體安靜,偶爾有車經過也不影響休息。整體而言,住得很舒適,會推薦給想在宇治慢慢走走的旅人。Posted on TakayaVerified 宇治駅から近く、立地がとても良いです。お部屋も清潔感があり、チェックイン時に施設の使用上の注意を詳しく説明して頂けました。また機会があれば是非利用させていただきたいと思います。
