The origin of the name, “ROKU”, is derived from the traditional craft of handmade Japanese paper and evocative of the natural beauty of the hotel’s surroundings.

Roku Kyoto

During the Heian Period, the Kamiya River (“Kami” translates to “paper”) flowing through the area was the source of water for papermaking, enhancing the symbolism of the name. Situated in a tranquil area along the foothills of the Takagamine Sanzan (“Three Mountains of Takagamine”) within northern Kyoto, the resort will be part of the 28.6-acre Shozan Resort Kyoto, a luxury enclave currently home to some of Kyoto’s most notable and idyllic Japanese gardens, historic architecture and authentic tea houses.

The Shozan Resort was developed from the concept that “beautiful things are born from a beautiful environment.” The 114-room Roku Kyoto, LXR Hotels & Resorts will offer guests a bespoke experience of the area and enable them to immerse themselves in the deep charms of a Kyoto that still holds mystery for those visiting, with countless stories of history and culture steeped in an unconventional aesthetic.
