Accessible only by private boat, Hoshinoya Kyoto sits within a restored riverside villa in Arashiyama’s forested hills. The design blends refined minimalism with seasonal hues, where tatami floors and wooden decks overlook misty waters and maple trees. Subtle lighting and natural materials create a deep sense of stillness.
Immerse yourself in seasonal kaiseki, stroll the forest paths with a cultural guide, or take part in meditative tea ceremonies. This is a space for slowing down, with the quiet flow of the river setting the pace for your stay.
