A hidden adult retreat in a Kyoto townhouse, nestled in an alley near Shirakawa, which flows through the heart of Gion. The property features a single-story lounge building overlooking two distinct gardens, a bath area with a soothing hinoki wood tub, and a guestroom building comprising a bedroom and a Japanese-style room. All of these spaces are exclusively reserved for your private use.

We recommend relaxing with your favorite drink in a luxurious gold-leaf glass while taking in the garden views during a bath.

The word "ARU -在る-" embodies the desire to be a Hotel that continues to exist in that place, transcending time. Originating from the timber merchant district along the Takase River, Sanjo and Kiyamachi Street have inherited the bustling atmosphere from the Edo to Meiji and Taisho eras, influenced by Western culture. This area carries universal values and romance that have been cherished by people across generations. While respecting and preserving the history and traditions of this town, we aim to create new values and culture, weaving a better future as a Hotel. Just as "mizuhiki," a symbol of gratitude, remains timeless, we hope that this Hotel will always "be" on Kiyamachi Street, bringing great joy to both the locals and visitors from afar.
