The hotel faces Miyagawa-suji, a street that retains the traditional beauty of Kyoto. The designer devised a lighting plan that invites guests inside while preserving the Japanese concept of incorporating the outside within and the atmosphere of Junichiro Tanizaki's book "In Praise of Shadows". Furthermore, as part of the hospitality, the design also incorporates a range of activities and local materials to ensure guests can spend long periods of time in comfort.
