Summer Boating in Oku-Arashiyama - HOSHINOYA Kyoto

HOSHINOYA Kyoto
Learning the ways of cooling through the wisdoms of the past.

HOSHINOYA Kyoto, a ryokan (Japanese inn) in Arashiyama where all guest rooms have a river view, is hosting "Summer Boating at Oku-Arashiyama" from 1 July to 31 August 2022. This program is available to one group per day to spend a private and elegant time amid the cool air on our original Yakata boat "Hisui.” Savor refreshing desserts using Japanese flavors and iced matcha green tea in Yukata (Japanese traditional summer garment) while gazing at the jade-colored water and cool green maples shining in the morning sun. Relish in an elegant and refreshing time in Arashiyama, where Heian nobles enjoyed boating to seek coolness amid the hot summers.

Kyoto's famed craftmanship and celebrated history pervade every inch of this fully restored century-old property. From the woodblock-print designs in guestrooms to the refined Kaiseki meals, landscaped grounds and timeless setting in Arashiyama, a former playground of court nobles.

Arashiyama, where HOSHINOYA Kyoto is located, is an area with some of the strictest landscape protection regulations in all of Kyoto. One can enjoy this well-preserved nature while gazing upon the magnificent changes in the seasons' colors from boat.
