Hoshinoya Kyoto

Hoshinoya Kyoto is a remarkable retreat accessible only by boat up the Ōi River from Arashiyama, tucked into a forested valley in the mountains. Opened by Hoshino Resorts in 2009, the property reimagines the Japanese inn experience through modernist architecture that blends glass, stone, and wood with the surrounding forest canopy. The 25 rooms and suites open onto the river or garden, and the resort's onsen, tea ceremony studio, and kaiseki dining create an immersive escape from city life. A stay here feels genuinely like entering another world.
