Around Obama Beach (Kyoto) × Stays Popular For SunsetsClose to Hotel·Ryokan

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.

Perched quietly on a hilltop in Kyotango, “Hanare Soraharu” is an adults-only hideaway with just four rooms—each featuring a private open-air bath fed by natural Onsen. Take in sweeping views of the majestic Sea of Japan and enjoy moments that let your mind truly unwind.
