Opened in April 2013 with brand new facilities, Piece Hostel Kyoto is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station.

Staff was very friendly, nice and clean common area to cook and have meals, shower rooms and toilets are very clean, the room was basic and small but the bed war comfortable and since we did not spend much time in the room anyway it was perfectly fine. Storage space under the bed helps to accommodate luggage.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Uji is a wonderful town and a good base to explore Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and Uji itself. This hostel is conveniently located close to the train station. The hostess at the front desk was very helpful and explained everything at check-in. Excellent communal facilities with washer, dryer, nice showers with great water pressure, tea, fridges, basic kitchen, and free draft beer! If you are on a budget, they have very nice private rooms or dormitory style rooms that are well equipped.

    Cozy small hostel in Uji. Quietly located a little away from the major attractions. Stay here, if you would like a little less overcrowded atmosphere. Kyoto, Nara and can be reached in less than half an hour. Friendly staff.

    Had an awesome time! Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Location was fantastic, especially since we could borrow bicycles from the hostel - and cycling in Uji is quite convenient and fun.

    Great location to head into Kyoto for the day or explore around Uji (on bike is best). The accommodation was very peaceful and the staff were lovely.
