It is an inn that is located close to the sacred place of the Sound Euphonium, or rather, it is located within a group of sacred places.I used this place as my base and traveled around Kyoto and Uji.The Byodo-in bathroom and Asagiri Bridge are beautiful, and the view of the Uji River and greenery from the room is very nice.The only drawback was that the free Wi-Fi was slow, but the building had an atmosphere and Mr. Nakai was friendly and made me feel comfortable.Euphonium fans should definitely stay here and make a pilgrimage to this sacred place.

You can enjoy a tasteful inn at a price comparable to that of a business hotel.The location and the view from the window are wonderful.The building is old, so people often hit their heads at the entrance to the rooms, and small insects often come into the rooms, but that should be seen as a charm.This is not suitable for those who want to spend a comfortable time in a beautiful hotel.This is perfect for those who want to spend time at a traditional inn or guesthouse with an atmosphere that is worth more than the price.

Rural inn. Although it cannot be said to be very beautiful, it has a historical feel to it. It has a calm space and the food is good. Local companies sometimes use it for banquets.As a side note, there are quite a few black bass around the rock in front of you (the so-called turtle stone).

Kameishiro is an inn located along the Uji River in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.The main hall, the center of Uji tourism, is an inn that has been in operation for about 130 years, located next to Ujigami Shrine, a world heritage site and the oldest existing shrine building.

We have mini kaiseki, kaiseki, hot pot dishes, etc.The main shrine, the center of Uji tourism, is an inn that has been in operation for about 130 years, located next to Ujigami Shrine, a World Heritage Site and the oldest existing shrine building.Our hotel is a lodging facility in Uji that retains its historical atmosphere, bearing the name of the famous stone "Kameishi", which is said to be associated with the legendary Emperor Suinin of the Asuka period and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. I am. The Japanese-style rooms and large public baths are designed with a focus on cleanliness, and the hospitality provided by the employees, including their ability to speak foreign languages, is wonderful.Right in front of the inn, you can see a protruding stone called Kameishi in the Uji River. It is said that it was named Kameishiro because it stands in front of this.The building has been featured in several productions by the world-famous Kyoto Animation, and has become famous among young people in recent years.Even when our museum was placed in a serious situation due to the new coronavirus infection, we were able to continue our current management thanks to the overwhelming support we received through crowdfunding, which exceeded our expectations. It is written.Around 1930Konosuke Matsushita owns it as a vacation home.Around 1955It is used as a recreation center and training place for Matsushita Electric Industrial.Access: 20 minutes walk from Keihan Uji Station.

This is a ryokan that I have always wanted to stay at as it is a sacred place for CLANNAD.The service, rooms, and food are perfect.I was very happy to see the room that appeared in CLANNAD.The room I stayed in this time was a different room, but next time I would like to make a reservation in the room shown in CLANNAD.All the employees were very kind and I have fond memories.I plan to stay here again when I go to Kyoto.

It's the best except that the facilities are a bit old and there are no convenience stores nearby. The kindness of the clerk surprised me.
