MK Guide Recommends
Located just steps from Karasuma Oike Station, ShinPuhKan is Kyoto’s premier lifestyle complex, blending Meiji-era brick architecture with modern glass, steel, and international style. Originally built in 1926, the structure was reimagined by renowned architect Kengo Kuma into a striking open-air courtyard surrounded by boutiques, cafés, galleries, and the Ace Hotel Kyoto. Visitors can browse contemporary Japanese fashion, sip specialty coffee, or attend cultural pop-ups under wooden eaves that reflect Kyoto’s evolving identity—rooted in tradition, open to reinvention. Whether you're staying at the hotel or stopping by for a slow afternoon, ShinPuhKan is a design-forward pause between temples.
