Set across a string of buildings, the rooms are elegant to no end. Each is individually designed with traditional fine bamboo furniture, sliding screens and platformed futons with cloud-like duvets. The bathrooms are a definite highlight with giant square cypress tubs complete with seasonal herbs to infuse into the water. Wide windows let in a stunning view of the gardens and, sticking to its traditional roots, you'll find no TVs at Hoshinoya and instead a calligraphy set is provided for when inspiration strikes.
