After Obon, head to Ohara. A cooling getaway to soothe summer fatigue (Updated 8/17)
With the Obon holidays over, late August is when summer fatigue starts to catch up with you.
While the heat still lingers, how about a relaxing “cooling getaway” in Ohara, Kyoto?
Surrounded by lush greenery, Ohara is a peaceful satoyama village where you can unwind far from the city bustle.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll or soak in an Onsen.
Soothe away summer tiredness and refresh both body and mind.
And the seasonal highlight at this time of year is ayu (sweetfish).
From early summer through autumn, we serve ayu at its peak as “ayu shabu,” letting you savor its natural flavor.
Simmered gently in our special broth made with Rishiri kelp and bonito dashi, finished with a hint of house-made miso.
You can also enjoy salt-grilled ayu, Kamo eggplant dengaku, and for dessert, a refreshing white miso ice cream.
After your seasonal meal, unwind in our open-air Goemon-style bath surrounded by trees.
This is Ohara’s summer at its best—especially during the calmer period after Obon.
From late August into September, while it’s still warm.
Why not take a trip to Ohara to cool down—relieve summer fatigue and savor ayu at its finest?
