Morning view from The Shinmonzen hotel

We love a good hotel lobby. It shapes a guest’s first impression within seconds, serving as the hotel’s DNA and social heart. Above all, it should make guests feel something, a sense of inspiration, care, connection, and belonging. These are some of our favorite spaces.

About 90 minutes north of central Kyoto, deep in the mountains of Hanase, is Miyamasou, newly awarded three Michelin stars in 2026.

But the stars aren’t really the charm.

The charm is the synergy between Nakahigashi-san and his team’s warmth and personality, and the incredibly creative tsumikusa cuisine, food that could only really exist here, shaped by the mountains, rivers and seasons surrounding Miyamasou. 🌿

From the archives: UTSUROI HYMN,
From Fragments to Soft Gestures in Stillness, an exhibition by Mae Engelgeer x Ryosokuin, held at Ryosokuin in early summer 2026.

Of this work, her interpretation of the scroll, Mae says:

“A graphic composition of archival textiles, highlighting and honoring the traces of time. A dominant field of colors draws attention to marks of wear and use, while exposed seams in softer tones reveal the textile’s former lives. Irregular lines move through a strong grid, creating a dialogue between structure, memory, and impermanence.”

Honen-in temple
Surrounded by the fresh air of Zenkizan, the temple still holds a profound sense of quiet. Beyond its thatched gate, two mounds of white sand welcome visitors, their carefully drawn patterns changing with the seasons.
