Kitoki Inn

A highly sought-after Ryokan-Inspired rainforest escape on British Columbia’s Bowen Island. Kitoki translates to ‘tree and spirit,’  an encouragement to connect with both oneself and the natural world. Glasfurd & Walker worked with Kitoki Inn's ownership to bring to life the essence of their offering through the brand - weaving together a minimal Japanese aesthetic with a natural, hand-drawn touch representative of the beauty of Bowen Island.  With the clean, Pacific Northwest air and the sound of the wind gently rustling through the trees, a moment of serenity at Kitoki Inn feels natural and effortless, as does the brand world we created.
