Set along the Ōi River in Arashiyama, Hoshinoya Kyoto occupies a century-old former ryokan renovated and adapted by architect Rie Azuma of Azuma Architect & Associates.

The project retains the character and lightness of traditional Japanese timber architecture while introducing contemporary elements throughout the guest rooms and shared spaces. Kyoto craft traditions, including karakami paper and traditional plasterwork, are incorporated into the interiors, connecting the architecture to the material culture of the city.

嵐山の大堰川沿いに位置する「星のや京都」は、築100年を超える旧旅館を、東 環境・建築研究所の建築家・東 利恵が改修し、新たな用途へと再構成したものです。

日本の伝統的な木造建築がもつ趣と軽やかさを残しながら、客室や共用空間には現代的な要素が取り入れられています。唐紙や伝統的な左官仕上げなど、京都に受け継がれてきた素材や職人技を内装に取り入れることで、建築と京都のものづくりの文化を結びつけています。
