Amanohashidate, located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, is called "Kyoto of the Sea," and is one of Japan's three most scenic views. This ryokan inn, where guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery and local cuisine, offers high-quality spaces and hot springs, as well as hands-on experiences such as cruising and strawberry picking.

A great location where you can have a taste of the extraordinary

The Amanohashidate Rikyu Hoshi no Oto ryokan inn was opened in 2017 in Amanohashidate by MarineTopia Resort, which offers different types of lodging facilities such as inns, villas, and glamping. The location allows guests to experience the extraordinary, with all rooms facing the Sea of Japan. All seven rooms, each with a different taste, are furnished with items from renowned brands such as Vitra and FritzHansen, giving life to a sophisticated space.

The inn is located by the sea in the Amanohashidate area, one of the popular sightseeing spots in Kyoto.

All rooms come equipped with an infinity pool and two types of hot springs.

Each room is decorated with furniture of different tastes.

Enjoy two types of hot springs

Guests can enjoy a Golden Hot Spring and a Silver Hot Spring, each with different qualities. It is said that the amber-colored water of the Golden Hot Spring, rich in iron, is effective against poor circulation and back pain, while the Silver Hot Spring is also called a "bath for beautiful skin" thanks to metasilicic acid, its main component, which is said to have a moisturizing effect on the skin.

Finest local ingredients prepared with top-notch techniques

Food is one of the great pleasures of traveling. For dinner, top-notch chefs prepare and serve natural seafood, such as crab, yellowtail, and shore plover, that have been carefully selected at local fishing ports. In addition, the inn's tables are filled with pesticide-free vegetables grown on local farms and brand-designated meat.
