“Serenity for the Soul, Your Ideal Everyday” — A Small Hotel by a Lakeside in Tango

About a 2.5-hour drive from central Osaka and Kyoto, Lake Hanareko—the largest freshwater lake in Kyoto Prefecture—lies in the Tango area, where beautiful yet unspoiled scenery remains, close to Ine’s Funaya boat houses and Amanohashidate. “HOTEL & Kotei Soka” is a small Hotel on its shore that celebrated its grand opening in May 2024. Ripples left by waterfowl on the lake, the splash of wildlife diving in, crisp air at dawn, a terrace dappled with willow-filtered light, the colors of the evening sky, abundant local ingredients nurtured by Tango’s climate, carefully selected natural wines, an Onsen to soothe your body—and a welcoming space surrounded by interiors and art curated from what we love. A calm heart and an ideal everyday life await you here.

  • Just looking out at the lake from our Room made me feel truly happy. Everything in the Hotel, starting with the Room, was so comfortable that I was really glad we chose to stay here. The portions were very generous and a bit too much for me, but both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Thank you very much. This is an Accommodation I definitely want to visit again. Next time, I’m planning to come by car with my husband, and I’m already looking forward to it.(I also loved the wonderful bath in our Room, but I wanted to see the Onsen building as well; I’m very sorry for the trouble caused regarding the lockers.)

  • This was my first stay, and the Facility was very clean. The staff were also wonderfully welcoming, and I had a great time. The Room was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the lake right in front of us. It was also great to be able to watch various streaming videos on the large projector. I understand this can’t be helped in summer, but it was disappointing that there were so many insects on the outdoor terrace that we couldn’t really use it.The food was delicious as well, but I noticed that some drinks listed on the menu were sold out. It’s a small thing in itself, but details like this can give the impression that things aren’t being managed thoroughly.(In the end, though, it led me to try something new—so it worked out!)

Introduction of the Accommodation

View

Small art pieces and nature that bring the Hotel to life

Inspired by Scandinavian “hygge.” Hygge is a Danish word that describes a cozy, comfortable space and the kind of warm, uplifting moments that make you feel at ease. We’ve added thoughtful touches throughout so guests can experience hygge for themselves. One of them is the interior design created by our team of creators. Simply spending time in this simple yet refined space—richly finished with wood—brings a quiet sense of calm.

Example guest room

Room types to suit your travel needs

A land where the sea is close by and snowfall in winter is not uncommon. Unlike the ancient capital of Kyoto that many people imagine, this is another side of Kyoto, where nature welcomes you gently and beautifully. The private villa “Kotei” offers a garden and pool to fully enjoy this generous natural setting, and in winter you can spend cozy moments by the wood-burning stove. We also offer a variety of Room types: the “Concept Room” with a view bath and terrace for relaxing, the “Standard Room” with an adorable daybed by the window, and the “Workation Room” equipped with a desk.

Onsen

Refresh your mind and body in the Onsen.

At the back of the garden, there is an Onsen building. Enjoy a relaxing soak in an open-air setting while gazing out over the garden—an extraordinary moment away from everyday life. Let the warm water melt away daily fatigue and tension, and feel your senses come into balance. Hatchohama Kohama Onsen is a sodium- and calcium-chloride spring, said to be beneficial for neuralgia, muscle pain, chronic digestive issues, and sensitivity to cold.

Sample Meal Options

A candlelit restaurant offering exciting wood-fired cuisine and natural wines

Seasonal creative cuisine rooted in Italian cooking and inspired by Tango’s local specialties, showcasing the bounty of the Sea of Japan throughout the year. Fresh seafood personally sourced by the chef, organic vegetables from local farmers, and dishes prepared with care over a wood-fired oven and open flame. Beautifully presented plates made with peak-season ingredients, paired with carefully selected natural wines chosen by our selector. Soft candlelight gently flickers, making your evening away truly unforgettable.

Lake Garden

A Lake Garden Where Grasses and Flowers Sway in the Breeze

In the Meadow Garden, where herbs and trees sway in the breeze, the Fire Lounge invites you to unwind while watching the flickering flames. Enjoy a romantic, calming chill time as you take in the ever-changing colors of the sky or gaze up at a sparkling starry night. A popular spot after a spa visit or for cooling off in the evening breeze.

    Tango Autumn and Natural Wine Pairing Plan — Now Accepting Reservations


    The theme of this four-part series is “My Own Harvest Festival.”

    As autumn brings its bounty to Tango,
    savor a glass of distinctive red wine—sweet yet deeply complex—by the lakeside at sunset,
    while recalling the harvest scenes you passed along the way.

    For our autumn selection, we chose “Arzan,” the winery’s final release.

    We hope you enjoy this personal take on a harvest festival, with a thought for the winemaker behind it.
