Studio Aluc has revoated the interiors of Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji, a 100-year-old Kyo-machiya in Kyoto, Japan.

Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji is a renovation project of a Kyo-machiya located directly in front of the Goei-do Gate of Higashi Honganji Temple.

"Respecting the deep history and intricate structure of this Kyo-machiya, we carefully incorporated modern comforts," said Studio Aluc.

As a result, Nazuno Kyoto Higashihonganji has created a space that carries the charm of traditional Kyoto townhouses into the future.

This project has been shortlisted in the hotel and short stay interior category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
