What you get with an entire home — 8 reasons it matters
Complete privacy
No shared lobbies, corridors, or elevators. The entire house — living room, kitchen, bath, garden — is yours alone from check-in to check-out.
Your own schedule
No fixed breakfast times, no noise curfew from other guests. Arrive at 3 PM, stay up late, sleep in — the house runs on your rhythm.
Feels like home
A full kitchen stocked with utensils, a washing machine and dryer, and space to spread out. Ideal for families, couples, or small groups staying multiple nights.
Uji, not just Kyoto
Base yourself in the matcha capital of Japan. Walk to Byodoin UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Uji River, and Japan’s oldest tea districts — all within 15 minutes on foot.
Kyoto & Nara in day trips
16 minutes to Kyoto Station by rapid express. 27 minutes to Nara. You get the calm of Uji without sacrificing access to the wider Kansai region.
Free private parking
Two spaces on site at no extra charge — a rarity in this part of Kyoto Prefecture. Ideal for road trips or guests arriving from the airport by car.
100-year-old townhouse
Renovated with modern comforts while preserving original pilar and beams, and the townhouse layout unique to Uji. A living piece of Japanese architectural history.
Private open-air bath
A deep soaking tub opening onto a private courtyard mini garden — your own onsen moment, without the crowds. Guests consistently call it the highlight of their stay.
