HOSHINOYA Kyoto

Hoshino Resorts · Riverside luxury ryokan · Arashiyama, reached by private boat up the Oi River

Reached only by the property's private boat from Togetsukyo Bridge, this former Edo-period villa occupies the wooded riverbank of Arashiyama with 25 rooms, each facing the jade water. The setting is deliberately remote and seasonal, with kaiseki dining, incense and tea ceremony woven into the stay. The arrival itself, gliding upriver, is the first act of the experience.

Why we recommend it

A genuine ryokan sensibility delivered at international standards, with an arrival no city hotel can rival.
