Pause for a moment of self-reflection in the spiritual surroundings of Byodoin Temple. You just never know — the answers to some of life's most pressing questions could be hiding behind its doors.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Uji. Byodo-in Temple is an ideal place to start here, but there are lots of other worthwhile attractions to appreciate. Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto Racecourse, and Kamikata Onsen Ikkyu are not far from the place of worship and will top off your day nicely.

Our 4-night stay at Soraniwa was absolutely perfect. The staff is friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Our room was as beautiful as it was comfortable, and the fit and finish of the room was remarkable. Loved the sheets and pillows, the silk pajamas they provided and all the extra amenities. Our room had a private onsen, and the onsite onsen was pure luxury. The hotel is located near everything you need for entertainment and dining. Our stay was one of my favorites ever, and we travel often. I would not hesitate to stay at Soraniwa again.

Our family of 5 had an excellent stay at Stitch. The property is well located and the layout of the room was perfect for our family. The facilities are top notch and having a washer dryer was so helpful. Great restaurants within a stones throw and easy to walk to so many places. The bathroom products were also lovely and I made sure to purchase them before I left! Would stay again in a heartbeat.
