Recommendations from facility staff
Mr. Hiroaki Masaki, general manager of HOSHINOYA Kyoto
At HOSHINOYA Kyoto, nestled in Arashiyama, where Heian aristocrats built villas and enjoyed the nature and culture of the four seasons, you can feel the change of the seasons and immerse yourself in a timeless stay.

River view from all rooms
Guest rooms with the atmosphere of Kyoto
All 25 rooms of 5 types built on the vast grounds have a river view. The window cuts out the natural scenery like a picture frame. Japanese-style furnishings such as Kyoto Karakami wallpaper and shoji doors are also attractive. The two of you will be enraptured in a space that looks like you've quietly jumped out of a Japanese painting.
We stayed in the spacious special room "Tsukihashi". I was moved by the spectacular view of greenery that jumped into my eyes from every room!
Activity16:00

Full of activities
The inn also boasts activities that require reservations to learn about Japanese culture.

Savor the flavors of Rankyo
For dinner, you can choose from the kaiseki kaiseki cuisine "Rankyo no Shimi" that you can enjoy in the dining room, or the "Shokado Bento" that you can enjoy in your room. Japanese cuisine that values the sense of the seasons is like a work of art. How about wine pairing and sake together?
When we asked the staff about their recommended sake, they gave us about 4 brands that fit our tastes. Thanks to you, I was able to have a more delicious meal!
