HOSHINOYA Kyoto

Kyoto, Japan

Why HOSHINOYA Kyoto is one of Asia’s Best 100 Hotels 2025.

HOSHINOYA Kyoto begins with a boat journey along the Oi River and continues as a contemporary reading of the ryokan. Riverside rooms, gardens, seasonal kaiseki and finely judged cultural rituals slow the city to a different tempo. Its sense of removal is extraordinary given how close it remains to Arashiyama.
