NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO Comment
This photo captures the history woven by the 'Hanamachi culture' that is naturally rooted in the area surrounding NOHGA HOTEL in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward. It evokes a desire to visit Gion and Miyagawa-cho to experience this history, which is why it was selected.

'Kyoto Station on New Year's Eve'
NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO Comment
While the platform of Kyoto Station is usually bustling with people, this photo conveys the unique stillness and tension of New Year's Eve. The platform, often seen as a mundane part of daily life, reveals a coolness in its stark atmosphere, which made it a fascinating choice.

NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO Comment
Kyoto is often seen as a tourist city, but it is a place where temples, shrines, and national treasures coexist with daily life. This photo beautifully expresses such a Kyoto with the approach and the newspaper delivery Cub, which is why it was selected.
