On June 1, 15, 22, and 29, 2023, Hoshinoya Kyoto, a ryokan with river views in every room
The “Summer Evening Firefly Hunt” will be held on June 1, 15, 22, and 29, 2023, to enjoy the summer evening atmosphere as if you were an aristocrat in the Heian period.
Oigamigawa River, which flows in front of Hoshinoya Kyoto, is a picturesque place where Heian aristocrats once had their villas and enjoyed the scenery of the four seasons.
In this event, we will take you to the secret habitat of fireflies along the Oigawa River, which is known only to the staff of Hoshiya Kyoto. Watching fireflies dancing, you will be reminded of the firefly hunting once enjoyed by the aristocrats of the Heian period.
After viewing the fireflies, you can taste the red shiso shibori, specially made by the executive chef, at the facility’s “mizu no niwa” (water garden). The refreshing aroma and tart, clean taste will help you feel cool and take a break after viewing fireflies.
Through the narration of “Fireflies,” translated into modern Kyoto dialect, the audience will experience the world of the Tale of Genji, which was established in the Heian period (794-1185).
