Aiso  

On the banks of the Uji River in Uji, a budget-friendly spot just a short walk from Byodoin and the city center. Walkable to historic sights like Byodoin, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo Temple.

A simple, budget-focused hotel with direct river frontage where guests can watch traditional cormorant fishing in season (separate charge). Practical stay with easy access to local culture and short walks to temples and museums.

On-site parking is available for guests. Riverfront location means wake-up views and summer evenings by the water when cormorant fishing is active.

Local flavors are on the menu: steamed rice with eel, Uji-tea soba noodles and grilled sweetfish. Vegetarians and guests with special dietary needs can be accommodated if notified in advance.
