追溯遙遠的記憶
A River of Profound Tranquility
乘船逆流而上，追溯來自古都的遙遠記憶。這條水道曾經熱鬧繁忙，向山裡運送貨物和居民的船隻來來往往、絡繹不絕。沿途翠鳥低飛、緊貼河道，在前往虹夕諾雅京都的途中，清風徐來、滌盪身心。無論在哪個季節，置身船上的溫度都更涼一些，時間過得也比平時更慢一點。
You embark on the boat that will take you to HOSHINOYA Kyoto. It begins to slowly drift along a river that once bustled with boats, which carried people as well as goods. Today, however, it is pleasantly quiet. You see a flock of kingfishers flying downstream, bringing with them a soothing breeze that cleanses your mind and body as you approach the resort. No matter the season, it is always a little cooler on the boat than it is on land. Finally, you arrive at your destination. The trip has taken just fifteen minutes–but each minute has felt momentous.

映出審美意識的自然
A Natural Environment Shaped by Artistry
環顧四周，綿延的山映入眼簾。令人意想不到的是，眼前的綠意並非天然生長，而是經由人工種植；河道則是江戶時代的富商為了治水而重新修建的。坐落在河畔的虹夕諾雅京都被建造在景觀保護區之中，這座美麗的日本庭園彷彿盪漾在人工與天然的邊界，映射出一種體現了審美意識的自然。走在清掃過的小徑，地上零零落落的杜鵑花將人引向客房。

You look around, and all you see are hills. The scenery, however, is not primeval; it has been developed by human hands, through the strategic planting of trees, as well as the reshaping of the Oi River by a 17th century tycoon. The result is a vast Japanese garden, its aesthetic pleasures treading the line between the natural and the artificial. Today, it is a protected area that is home to HOSHINOYA Kyoto–a place where the natural elements reflect Japanese aesthetics. As you arrive at the gates, paths lined with rhododendrons beckon you deeper into the premises.

四季不停更迭
An Unbroken Sequence of Seasonal Pleasures
清晨的庭院晨霧慢慢消散，小徑兩旁的石頭上殘留著晶瑩的露珠。在庭園另一端的禪宗花園，一棵400歲的古老楓樹盤踞其中。盛開的梨花讓人想起楓樹在秋天變成深紅色之前，就開始舒展的綠色葉子。庭園裡的四季和每天從空中劃過的太陽一樣，從未停止更迭。
You wake up early one morning and decide to take a walk. The morning mist slowly dissipates, leaving behind glistening dew on the stones lining the footpaths. Dew also sparkles from the Zen garden at the far end of the premises, where an enormous 400-year-old maple tree holds court. White flowers blossom on a pearl bush beside the tree, a reminder of the green leaves the maple will soon be sporting before they turn crimson in the fall. Just as the sun travels across the sky in an uninterrupted arc, the seasons here transition from one to another in an unbroken sequence.

流水奏出的樂章
The Soothing Music of Water
潺潺的水聲，讓寂靜的環境更顯孤清。在高高低低的流水聲中，你彷彿能聽到遠處森林中母鹿呼喚小鹿的聲音。微風伴著蟬鳴、蛙聲和鳥啼，此起彼伏地宣告著夏日的來臨。覆滿庭園的青苔好像一塊海綿，將收集到的各式聲音過濾成悅耳的旋律。
Serenity, you soon realize, is created not by the absence of sound, but the presence of a certain kind of sound–specifically, the sound of water. From your guest pavilion, you can hear both the gurgling of the stream flowing by the pavilion and the slightly quieter murmuring of the Oi River below. Other sounds soon drift in. From deep inside the forests across the river, you hear a doe calling its child. Evenings come alive with the singing of insects and frogs, to be replaced by birdsong in the morning. You feel as if the moss that decorates the premises is absorbing every sound, filtering them into the water so as to enhance its musical qualities.

每扇窗外都是一幅靚麗的風景畫
A Picture in Every Window
櫻花和楓葉的古樹枝椏，被像畫框一樣的窗戶裁剪下來。經驗再豐富的園丁也無法準確預料出它們十年後的樣子，就像野蠻生長的美，人工永遠無法代替。夏天的候鳥落在枝頭，搖搖晃晃。當你發現精心設計的亭臺座位可以與鳥兒昆蟲對視，這幅動態畫卷已經鋪展在你心中。

The branches of ancient cherry and maple trees peek into view from the guest pavilion windows that frame the nature outside. There is a pleasing lack of calculation in the branches’ forms; not even master gardeners who plan ten years ahead can predict the whims of nature. A summer bird lands on a leafy branch of a cherry tree. Suddenly, you notice the seating in the pavilion has been designed so your gaze is level with the birds and insects that visit the trees. You decide to sit back and enjoy this constantly changing picture.

空氣中瀰漫的寧靜
Guest Pavilions Where Time Stands Stil
經當地工匠利用“洗滌”技術磨礪出的欄杆和木質門，呈現出一種再現經典的質感，烘托了樓閣的寧靜優雅。最新鋪設的榻榻米還散發著清香，窗外流水潺潺、如夢似幻。只有在金色織紋牆紙上斑駁變換的光影，才能讓人感知到時間的流逝。
Inside the guest pavilions are railings and doors of pristine wood, cleansed of every trace of grime and dirt through a traditional Kyoto woodworking technique known as arai. These objects have a timelessness that is reflected in the serene elegance of the pavilions. Here, you are lulled into a dream-like trance by the aroma of freshly laid tatami matting and the gentle flow of the Oi River, visible right outside the windows. Only the changes in the way the light glints off the gold patterns woven into the wallpaper reveal the passage of time.
