Indulge in an Elegant Spring Sojourn in Arashiyama

HOSHINOTA Kyoto is located a 15-minute boat ride away from Arashiyama's iconic Togetsukyo Bridge. Upon arriving in the valley, guests are greeted by a tranquil atmosphere where time flows slowly, far removed from the city's hustle and bustle. During this season of natural awakening, you can enjoy a luxurious retreat from a "front-row seat" to the arrival of spring and the brilliant glow of fresh greenery.

March

The early part of the month is filled with a serene stillness as we await spring in the crisp, dignified air, while by late month, the cherry blossoms begin to unfurl. The delicate hues shifting from winter to spring weave together a landscape rich with the evocative charm of the Arashiyama valley.

April

During this season, the cherry blossoms of Mount Ogura on the opposite bank reach full bloom, shining brilliantly in the balmy spring sunlight. In this pleasant weather, you can enjoy a stay that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the resplendent scenery to your heart's content.

May

As Rikka (the beginning of summer) arrives, Arashiyama is enveloped in lush, vibrant green maple leaves. The fresh greenery, glistening under the clear May skies, is brimming with vitality, while the refreshing breeze sweeping across the river surface rejuvenates both mind and body.
