The theme of Japanese bath culture [Kiraku Kyoto Zeniyacho]

2020.04.10

Based on the concept of “Japanese bath culture”, this project was completed as a joint project between Nazuna, an inn that renovated historical buildings such as Kyomachiya and samurai residences, and Nomura Kogei Co., Ltd., the largest producer of space in Japan.
When you open the entrance, the space that spreads out in front of you is like a public bath with indoor and outdoor baths.
Please enjoy both the indoor bath where the traditional architecture unique to the townhouse and the modern interior are in harmony, and the outdoor bath with a view of the garden.

[Ai] and [Shu] Different bathing experiences for each building

[Ai] and [Shu] space inspired by the public bath curtain

Japanese baths are adorned with indigo (male) and vermilion (female) curtains to show the entrances of both men and women.Kiraku consists of two adjacent apartments for rent, and each building is named “Ai” or “Shu” inspired by the color of the curtain.
The unique setting that incorporates the vivid Japanese traditional colors everywhere colors the space that retains the taste of traditional architecture.Look for [Ai] and [Shu] scattered in each building, such as decorations that reuse waste materials from renovation and artwork that uses tile paintings actually used in public baths. Is one of the pleasures of our hotel.

Stay in a public bath in Kyoto! ?

During the Edo period, when the public bath became a place for entertainment and socialization, a rest room was set up on the second floor of the public bath, and after bathing, they enjoyed shogi and go with tea and sweets.
Kiraku reproduces the good culture of the Edo period, with a bathroom on the first floor, a lounge with spacious sofas on the second floor, and a kitchen for long-term stays.
Free drinks in refrigerator. After bathing, relax with a cold beer or soft drink.

In addition, in order to make bathing even more enjoyable, we have abundant bath salts from famous hot springs in various parts of Japan, and we have adopted pearl MIKIMOTO “Mikimoto Cosmetics” as bath amenities.
There is also a refrigerator with free drinks in the bathroom, so it is recommended to cool down in the garden.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
