At Kyomachiya Luck You Horikawa Gojo, the interior has also been carefully designed to offer our guests a Kyoto feel. The entrance is accented with a “noren” made by the dye shop “Shikisa”, each room is decorated with a new “tanka” poem every month, and a work by the artist Yamaba Haruki covers the entire expanse of the wall in the lobby. Our “bonsai” are carefully raised and trimmed by the owner of “Kawai Kosoen” nursery. Next, we'll be introducing some of the Kyoto decor that you'll get to enjoy during your stay.

The Design
Kyomachiya Luck You Bukkoji Higashimachi is modeled after the traditional Kyoto machiya. Inside of the compact, three-story, 9-room building, you’ll find many age-old novelties unique to the Kyomachiya like the “koshi-mado” (lattice windows), “the inuyarai”, and the “tsuridoko” (a lowered wall for displaying flowers and other ornaments). The bonsai at the entrance and the Shaolin dojo next door contribute to the fresh and unique ambiance.
