Over
Hoshinoya Kyoto is gevestigd op een eeuwenoud landgoed langs de Oi-rivier in Arashiyama, dat uitsluitend bereikbaar is met de houten privéboot van het resort. De tocht ernaartoe is op zichzelf al een belevenis — langs kersenbloesems in de lente, karmozijnrode esdoorns in de herfst en met sneeuw beladen takken in de winter. Binnen combineren 25 kamers traditionele ryokanarchitectuur met modern comfort: tatamivloeren, futonbedden en baden van cipressenhout gaan samen met ingetogen luxe.
De kaisekikeuken brengt het culinaire erfgoed van Kyoto tot leven met feestelijke seizoensmenu's van meerdere gangen. Meditatiesessies in de ochtend, workshops wierook maken en privébezoeken aan tempels brengen gasten in contact met de spirituele tradities van Kyoto.
