Roomwear

−The roomwear found in each guest room is designed for comfort and ease of movement. −

The “Samue”-style roomwear found in each guest room is designed for comfort and ease of movement. Its double gauze material is soft on the skin. The original design is a collaborative project we designed alongside “Iwamoto Seni”, a sewing shop founded in 1948 that specializes in bedding products and sleepwear. Be sure to don your samue and geta (wooden clogs) sandals with your yukago (bathing basket) in hand and try out the “sento” (bathhouse).

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.
