Katori archi + design associates The Westin Miyako Kyoto Chapel Renovation
The Westin Miyako Kyoto Chapel Renovation is Golden Design Award winner in 2020 - 2021 Interior Space and Exhibition Design Award Category.
The Westin Miyako Kyoto Chapel Renovation

Intended to express the new spirit of Kyoto, the highly original chapel is able to accommodate the increasingly diverse range of wedding styles sought by contemporary couples, including not only conventional church ceremonies but also Shinto and non-religious ceremonies. It utilized as much of the existing framework as possible, adding a wooden ceiling lattice interwoven with indirect lighting to evoke sunlight pouring through the branches of trees. The result is a sacred space imbued with traditional Japanese aesthetics and deep respect for its abundant natural surroundings.

Kintetsu Miyako Hotels International,Inc.

Founded 130 years ago, the Westin Miyako Kyoto is an elegant hotel with a proud history nestled into the foothills of the city’s Higashiyama district; the present main building and Kasui-en Annex were both designed by Togo Murano and completed in 1960 and 1959 respectively. The same elegance and quality were essential in this major renovation and earthquake retrofit of the chapel, which occupies a separate building on the hotel property.
