For a perfect illustration of inyodo — Japanese feng shui — turn to HOSHINOYA Kyoto. Set in the scenic Arashiyama district and accessible by a leisurely boat ride along the Ooigawa River, this tranquil 25-room resort is fashioned in the style of a traditional ryokan (Japanese inn) and exudes a sense of pure ease and relaxation. The calming interiors feature heated wood floors, handmade wallpapers and shoji-style sliding doors; outside, lantern-lit stone walkways lead through serene Japanese gardens with cedar trees. A modern kaiseki dinner awaits in the evening; watch it take shape in the hands of the acclaimed chef.

What an experience

Hoshinoya is certainly a gem in Kyoto. The service is exceptional and the experience is unmatched. My wife and I had a great time relaxing on the river, meditating and eating some incredible food.
I do not recommend the resort in mid summer heat though, because it can be very hot. I also think that it is good for 1 or 2 nights but anything more would likely get repetitive and boring.
