Kyo-Ikkenmachiya Satoi ITOYUFU
Nestled in the heart of Kyoto's Gion district,
Kyoto Machiya Satoi ITOYU is just a 5-minute walk
from Gion-Shijo Station on the Keihan Railway.
Only a few steps away from the lively Shijo Street,
the atmosphere changes completely, welcoming you
into a peaceful neighborhood where time seems to slow down.
This traditional Kyoto machiya,
built more than 150 years ago,
carries the weight of history in every pillar and beam.
It`s timeless architecture preserves the memories and
quiet elegance of generations past.
To the south of the famous Minamiza Theatre lies Miyagawacho,
one of Kyoto's renowned geisha districts,
while to the east of Yamatooji Street is Gion Kobu,
another historic hanamachi. As you wander these charming streets,
you may even catch a glimpse of a maiko gracefully
making her way to an appointment.
Kyoto's most lively shopping and dining district,
Shijo Kawaramachi, is only a 7-minute walk away,
while the iconic Nishiki Market can be reached in about 10 minutes.
Once you experience the convenience of this location combined
with the tranquility of it`s surroundings,
you'll find it hard to imagine staying anywhere else during your time in Kyoto.

Facility introduction
【Facilities & Amenities Information】
About the Benefits of the Artificial Hot Spring
Our facility is equipped with an artificial hot spring system.
As the circulating water passes through special mineral stones, mineral components dissolve into the water,
creating a bathing environment similar to that of a natural hot spring.
Enjoy a soothing bath with our artificial hot spring,
which is designed to offer the following benefits.
● Health & Wellness Benefits
It may support improved immunity, metabolism, and the body’s natural healing ability.
It has also long been said to help relieve symptoms such as rheumatism and bronchial asthma, making it ideal for refreshing both body and mind.
●Relieves Fatigue and Warms the Body
By taking in the radon generated by the system, the body’s cells may be activated.
Also, the far-infrared effect warms the body from within and helps prevent you from feeling chilled after bathing.
●Skin Care Benefits
Dissolved silicon dioxide (SiO2) and calcium (Ca) ions give the water a gentle, skin-friendly texture.
After bathing, you may notice that your skin feels smoother.

Artist's Statement
During the COVID-19 pandemic, every clock in my home had stopped working, and none of them showed the correct time.
At one point, I realized that I didn't actually need to know the exact time.
That experience inspired me to create a clock with five hands.
An ordinary clock has two hands to indicate the hour and minute.
A third hand shows the seconds, and a fourth can serve as an alarm hand.
A clock with five hands, however, no longer functions as a conventional clock. Even the lengths of the hands no longer reveal which is the hour hand or the minute hand.
Through this work, I hope viewers can momentarily forget the constant pressure of measuring life by hours and minutes, and instead reconnect with the slower, more natural rhythm of time that flows within themselves.
