Luck You can be found at the heart of the Kyoto city scene, so you can catch glimpses of what it’s actually like to live in the storied city. “Luck You Horikawa Gojo” is also just across the street from “Gokouyu”, a famous public bath that’s loved by both locals and travelers alike. You can also pop by the neighboring “Maruki-sei Bakery”, a well-known bakery that’s a mainstay in the media’s “Kyoto Bakery Special Feature” coverage. “Luck You Bukkoji Higashimachi” is also neighbors with a Shaolin martial arts dojo (training facility). Another place to try visiting is “Nakajima-ya”, an Izakaya (Japanese pub) with an expansive menu selection. Being able to get a feel for the local Kyoto area by visiting these neighboring venues is one of the many perks of staying at Luck You.

While the building itself is newly built, the faithful reproduction of the Kyomachiya building includes storied features like the “battari shogi” (foldable benches which are kept retracted except when in use), the “inuyarai” (short-arched fences that create a partition between the building and the street while also protecting the walls from mud and dirt), and the “Shoki” (a statue placed right below a building’s eaves to protect the home from disaster and harm). At the same time, amenities such as air-conditioning and heating offer an optimal sense of comfort. We hope that you can enjoy the very best of these aesthetic and material comforts during your stay.
