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, unspoiled scenery still remains. Close to Ine’s Funaya boat houses and Amanohashidate, “HOTEL & Kotei Soka -Soka-” is a small Hotel that celebrated its grand opening in May 2024 on the lakeshore. Ripples left by waterfowl on the surface, the splash of wildlife diving in, crisp air at dawn, a sun-dappled terrace beneath swaying willows, 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 comfortable space surrounded by interior design and art chosen with love. A calm heart and an ideal everyday life await you here.

Hanare Soraharu, quietly perched on a hilltop in Kyotango, is an adults-only hidden Accommodation with just four rooms—each featuring a private open-air bath fed by natural Onsen. With sweeping views of the majestic Sea of Japan right before you, enjoy a moment that lets your mind truly unwind. The guest rooms offer a serene atmosphere where Japanese aesthetics blend harmoniously with modern design.
