A closer look at Good Nature Hotel Kyoto

A hotel in Kyoto, Japan, operated by Good Nature Station. The room count is not recorded here. This record was created from a third-party certification registry and has not yet been researched against the eight pathways, so nothing is scored on Air Ecology, Water Integrity, Light Rhythm, EMF Harmony, Materials and Textiles, Food and Kitchen, Biophilic and Healing Design or Sound and Sensory Ecology. Every pathway is left out of the total rather than counted as a zero.

The WELL project directory lists the hotel as WELL Certified at Gold under WELL v1, certified on 6 August 2020 and recertified on 6 August 2023. It is recorded exactly as the certifier publishes it, as a held standard that moves no score.

What this property publishes, area by area

All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.

Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means

Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.

Air Ecology1 source notePublished or supplied

The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Air carries twelve preconditions. 01 Air quality standards is performance tested for volatile substances, particulate matter, inorganic gases and radon. 05 Air filtration, 06 Microbe and mold control and 12 Moisture management are all mandatory in v1, where WELL v2 leaves filter grade and mould control to optional features, so a v1 certificate says more about air than a v2 one at the same level. 03 Ventilation effectiveness and 02 Smoking ban complete the relevant ones. The certificate does not publish the readings, only that the building met the limits.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • What filter grade is fitted to guest room air handling, for example MERV 13 or HEPA H13?
  • What is the fresh air supply rate per person in a guest room?
  • Are carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound levels measured, and are the readings published?
  • Is there a mould inspection and remediation protocol, and when was it last run?
  • Are there gas cooktops, fireplaces or other combustion sources inside guest rooms?
Water Integrity1 source notePublished or supplied

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Water carries five preconditions, all of them testing: 30 Fundamental water quality, 31 Inorganic contaminants, 32 Organic contaminants, 33 Agricultural contaminants and 34 Public water additives. Four named contaminant classes is a wider mandatory panel than WELL v2 requires. Periodic retesting and treatment are optimizations, so this attests to a test rather than to an ongoing regime, and no result is published.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • What is the water source, and what treatment is applied before it reaches a guest room?
  • Is there a published contaminant test panel, and which laboratory ran it?
  • Is shower and bath water filtered, and to what specification?
  • How are pools and spas sanitised, and is the chemistry published?
  • How is drinking water delivered, and is it treated on site?
Light Rhythm1 source notePublished or supplied

Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Light carries four preconditions: 53 Visual lighting design, 54 Circadian lighting design, 55 Electric light glare control and 56 Solar glare control. Circadian lighting design is mandatory in v1, where in WELL v2 circadian performance is optional, so this certificate establishes something about the light after dark that most certified hotels on this index cannot show. No colour temperature or melanopic figure is published with it.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • Is guest room lighting tunable or circadian, and what specification is published?
  • What colour temperatures are used in the evening, and are fixtures flicker free?
  • Do sleeping areas have full blackout, and is it specified?
  • What daylight access does a typical room have?
  • Is exterior lighting shielded or reduced overnight?
EMF HarmonyNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • Are guest rooms wired for data, or is access wireless only?
  • Where are wireless access points and smart meters placed relative to the bed?
  • Have field levels been measured in sleeping areas, and by whom?
  • Can a guest have wireless disabled in their room on request?
  • Is any shielded cabling or shielding material specified in the build?
Materials and Textiles1 source notePublished or supplied

The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Materials sit inside the Air concept in v1. Three preconditions apply: 04 VOC reduction, covering interior paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, flooring and insulation; 11 Fundamental material safety, restricting legacy hazards; and 09 Cleaning protocol with 10 Pesticide management, which govern what is applied to surfaces afterwards. v1 sets no criterion on mattress composition, linen fibre content, or textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • What are the mattresses made of, and are they treated with flame retardants?
  • What is the fibre content of the linen, and is it certified, for example to GOTS or OEKO TEX?
  • Which paints, adhesives and sealants were specified, and are they low emission?
  • What cleaning and laundry products are used, and is the list published?
  • Are there named low emission certifications on the flooring or joinery?
Food and Kitchen1 source notePublished or supplied

What a kitchen cooks with and where it buys are the parts of a stay you take inside you. A named oil, a named supplier or a published share is checkable; “healthy” is not.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Nourishment carries eight preconditions: 38 Fruits and vegetables, 39 Processed foods, 40 Food allergies, 41 Hand washing, 42 Food contamination, 43 Artificial ingredients, 44 Nutritional information and 45 Food advertising. Artificial ingredients being mandatory is stronger than WELL v2, which leaves that to an optimization. Safe food preparation materials and responsible food production are optimizations, so the certificate says nothing about cookware, cooking oils or sourcing.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • What share of produce is grown on site or sourced locally, and is it verified?
  • Which cooking oils are used, and is the policy published?
  • What cookware is used in the kitchen?
  • Is kitchen and ice water filtered, and to what specification?
  • Is there a published position on additives, preservatives or allergens?
Biophilic and Healing Design1 source notePublished or supplied

Daylight, planting, outlook and the way a room meets the outside are what make a place feel the way it does. Named design decisions can be checked; atmosphere cannot.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Two of Mind's five preconditions read onto this: 87 Beauty and design I, and 88 Biophilia I, qualitative, which requires a design incorporating nature through environmental elements, lighting and layout. The quantitative biophilia feature, with its area and frequency thresholds, is an optimization, so the certificate establishes that nature was designed in rather than how much of it there is.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • Does every guest room have direct outdoor access or an operable opening?
  • What is the published design intent behind the natural materials used?
  • What are the typical ceiling heights and room volumes?
  • Was the landscape designed with native planting, and is the palette published?
Sound and Sensory Ecology1 source notePublished or supplied

What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.

Good Nature Hotel Kyoto holds WELL v1 at Gold, certified 6 August 2020 and recertified 6 August 2023. Every feature named here is a v1 precondition, mandatory for certification at any award level, so the certificate proves it. Two of Comfort's five preconditions are acoustic and both carry numeric limits: 74 Exterior noise intrusion and 75 Internally generated noise. That is stronger than WELL v2, where measured background noise is an optimization and only sound mapping is mandatory. Reverberation time, sound masking and sound barriers remain optimizations, and 77 Olfactory comfort is an optimization, so the certificate says nothing about scent.

Published by International WELL Building Institute, read 19 Sept 2026.

Read it: WELL Building Standard v1
What to ask them
  • What is the measured background noise level in a guest room at night?
  • What acoustic separation is specified between adjoining keys?
  • How loud is the guest room air conditioning at its lowest setting?
  • Is fragrance diffused into guest rooms or public areas, and can it be declined?

Not everything is published, and an empty row is a gap in what we could read rather than a fault in the building. If one of these matters to you, ask the property before you book. Send us something that updates this record
