HOSHINOYA Kyoto can be reached by taking a 15-minute ride up the Oigawa River from the pier at Togetsukyo Bridge on the inn's own shuttle boat. It is one of the HOSHINOYA brands that provides an overwhelmingly extraordinary experience based on the concept of "getting to that moment's special seat." The wonderful presentation before arriving at the inn will make you feel excited as you arrive in another world. The pier is about a 10-minute walk from Hankyu Arashiyama Station.

The ``tatami sofa'' is said to be at the height of sitting straight, allowing you to observe Arashiyama's nature from a Japanese perspective.
