The most distinctive feature of the Candeo Hotels Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku is that it is a designed around of the former Banke Residence, a valuable traditional townhouse that is a registered tangible cultural property of Kyoto City. The design concept is to compare the preciousness of the Banke residence itself to the gleam of a jewel, with glittering decorations reminiscent of bijou (jewels) in key places. These glittering decorations are modern interpretations of traditional Kyoto crafts and ornaments, and are the bijou that will adorn the new color scheme of the Banke residence.
