Zabuton

−“Zabuton” from “Rakuchu Takaokaya”, a zabuton manufacturer with a 90-year history−

The zabuton and cushions found in our guest rooms and lobby are custom-ordered from “Rakuchu Takaokaya”, a zabuton manufacturer with a history spanning 90 years since their founding. We had these custom-ordered in order to choose the colors, sizes, and shapes which we felt were the most comfortable and matched the overall design of the building and our guest rooms. The zabuton are characterized by quality materials and traditional Japanese colors.

A Message from

The Architect

−<Luck You> had our architectural designs done by Uchida Yasuhiro, an architect well-versed in Kyomachiya design.−

The faithful reproduction of the old Kyomachiya townhouse was made possible because of his expertise. Accordingly, we were able to realize our vision of combining an age-old tradition in craftsmanship with modern amenities. We hope you have a memorable experience immersed in the fine-tuned details of Mr. Uchida’s design.

Luck You Horikawa Gojo

The Design

Kyomachiya Luck You Horikawa Gojo reproduces a Kyomachiya architectural design which was popular from the Taisho Era (1912-1926) into the early part of the Showa Era (1926-1989). An abundance of Kyomachiya furnishings immediately grab at your attention with their anachronistic novelty like the “koshi-mado” (lattice windows), “the inuyarai”, and the “hibukuro” (the hearth of a Japanese lantern). The Japanese garden found next to the bettei (annex) lobby was constructed in the likeness of a typical townhouse garden during the Meiji (1868-1912)/Taisho era.
