Emotion rather than information. A trip of extremely private essays proposed by a hotel in Kyoto.
HIYORI CHAPTER KYOTO

Emotion over information.
A trip of extremely private essays proposed by a hotel in Kyoto.

The HIYORI Chapter Kyoto Tribute Portfolio Hotel opened in Kyoto City in June 2021. Although it may sound a bit daunting to hear that the hotel is affiliated with Marriott, one of the world's largest hotel chains, the space and service you will actually experience is firmly rooted in warm blood. This may have a little something to do with the hotel's original service, the "palm-sensitive one-stroke note. The hotel's philosophy of valuing emotion over information was unique among the many hotels in Kyoto.

A note you have read and experienced. Now it's your turn to write.

Kit of one note.

You can also keep a record of your own journey as a single note. You will also want to enjoy the decorations on the kit, which are worthy of forming a memory of your trip. On the cover of the one-stroke note kit that guests receive, you can add illustrations and text using an analog method called letterpress printing, which is available at the CHAPTER FACTORY. Needless to say, this tactile printing method is a perfect match for travel records.

Among them, the HIYORI Chapter Kyoto Tribute Portfolio Hotel's service is by no means spectacular. However, as time passes over the next 10 to 20 years, the memories of visitors to the hotel will remain in this place. By experiencing the collective knowledge of travel, like a cloud service of emotion, you may discover a face of Kyoto that you have never noticed before, and a way to enjoy your own unique travel experience.
