Uji Ichiban-yado Nigauri

Located in Uji City, Kyoto, this entire-rental ryokan offers the feeling of staying in a private villa. Limited to one group per day and accommodating up to four guests, the property features a tasteful blend of Japanese and Western design and a bathroom finished in natural cypress wood. The spacious layout includes both a tatami room and a Western-style room, making it suitable for families with children as well as longer stays.

The highlight is the all-cypress hinoki bath, filled with the soothing scent of wood and designed large enough for multiple guests to relax together. As the entire building is reserved exclusively for your group, you can enjoy the bath at any time without concern. A mini kitchen and tableware are also provided, allowing you to cook with locally sourced ingredients. Dinner-inclusive plans are available with advance reservation.

The location is equally convenient-about a 5-minute walk from JR and Keihan Uji stations. Major sights such as Byodo-in Phoenix Hall, Ujigami Shrine, and shopping streets lined with tea shops are all within walking distance. The property is completely private with no on-site staff, and check-in is handled via a self-service system with an automatic lock.
