Reaching HOSHINOYA Kyoto is part of the experience: a quiet wooden boat up the Ōi river into Arashiyama's gorge, where lanterns glow and the city stays behind. Twenty-five pavilions in ryokan style with shoji screens, tatami mats, and river sounds. A nine-course kaiseki dinner, breakfast in-room; calligraphy and tea ceremony on offer. Come at the end of a Kyoto trip and make it the finale.
