The House

Behind a black stone wall and a single ember-red sign, three floors open up — and at the very back of the ground floor, a stone bath steams under its own sky.

AUR KYOTO is not a room in a hotel. It is one house, rented whole, to one group. Nobody else checks in, nobody else uses the bath, nobody else walks the stairs.

Three bedrooms, two living rooms, a tatami room with a full suit of samurai armour, a full kitchen and dining table, and an open-air stone bath large enough to sit in together. Parking is inside the house. The villa opened in August 2026 — everything in it is new.

The Stay

Built for a group that came together

Eleven to fifteen people, one roof, one bath. Everything below is included in the house — not an add-on.

A table for everyone

Full kitchen, walnut dining table, coffee grinder and hand-drip, knives, pans and enough seats that nobody eats standing up.

Kyoto, on purpose

A tatami room with a full suit of samurai armour and a matcha set, a bamboo courtyard, and a theatre living room for the hours after.

AUR HOSPITALITY

Run by the people who built it

AUR KYOTO was designed by us, and is run and cleaned by us. No management company sits in between — which is why a question about group size or one more night gets answered by the people who actually hold the keys.
