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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (17 reviews)

The room is really big with a tatami area where you can relax. You can move the beds around easily. Everyone in the front desk speaks fluent English. It has an old school key lock. It only has roughly 12 rooms. So even though it only has 1 washer, it was empty every time we have to use it. It also had an ice and water machine. It is in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to many shrines. The only minor complaint I have is there was a weird smell coming from either the washroom or the shower room. We had to turn the exhaust fan on the entire time to get rid of it. Also the TV was positioned in away such that it took me 5 minutes to connect the HDMI.

The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.
