Koyo Café, offering all-day dining for AYA hotel guests and locals in Kyoto, celebrates the beauty of autumn, known as “Koyo” in Japanese,
when leaves transform from green to stunning shades of gold and red, particularly notable in Kyoto's renowned maple trees.

The journey begins at the entryway, symbolizing the moment when green leaves transition to gold. The first room features striking green marble with gold veins, mirroring the onset of autumn. The marble extends seamlessly from the walls to the floor, naturally shaping banquette seating,
while light green leather evokes the freshness of early autumn.

Inspired by traditional Japanese temples, a glass-roofed structure serves as an extension to the hotel building, infusing historical Japanese elements into the modern architecture. Natural elements such as wood, beige tiles, and gold marble, coupled with architectural details, create a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a Japanese tea room, representing the mid-autumn phase of the leaf transformation.

The lounge area represents the culmination of autumn, where leaves turn red, resembling ripe maples. Deep orange-red suede leather adorns the arch ceiling, embracing the vibrant energy of the season. The marble arch wall and ceiling, reminiscent of maple trees in autumn, invite guests to relax and savor the harvest of the season. Koyo Café seamlessly blends nature, tradition, and modernity, offering a sensory journey through the enchanting beauty of autumn in Kyoto.
