Japan Kyoto Hoshinoya Kyoto The Best Hotel Deals

The property will be opened in December 2009. A dreamy river cruise up the beautiful Ooigawa River from the famous Togetsuyo Bridge in Arashiyama brings you to Hoshinoya Kyoto. A delightful collection of traditional wood-framed buildings that have been lovingly restored to create contemporary comfort in idyllic natural surroundings with 25 spacious rooms, a library lounge, a tatami drawing room and a charming water garden. This calming place is an ideal complement to the bustle of Kyoto. Watch the gentle flow of the river from your room or maisonette, then head to the library lounge with its soothing views of the water garden and terrace. Everything here is geared to relaxation and the appreciation of nature. Arashiyama is particularly beautiful during spring and autumn, so head off and visit Tenryu-ji temple, one of Kyoto s 17 World Heritage Sites. Then walk through the nearby bamboo grove before taking a spectacular boat ride down Hozu River.
