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 samurai armour on display, 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 Bath
A stone bath of your own
Cut into rock, lit from below, open to the sky through a glass roof. No trip to a hot-spring town needed — an open-air stone bath in the middle of Kyoto city. It is not shared with other guests, and it is open 24 hours.

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.

An original music app made for AUR KYOTO, with a player and speaker provided. Curated by DJ LEAD — his first selection made purely for chill.
DJ LEAD Official SiteA 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 samurai armour on display and a matcha set, a bamboo courtyard, and a theatre living room for the hours after.
Booking
Book the whole house
One booking takes the entire villa. For groups, extra nights or anything unusual, write to us directly — we answer ourselves.
Enquiries by email Copied
Booking directly with us costs you the same and costs the house less than a platform — which is why we can be flexible on group size and length of stay.
Rates
Rates are a guide and vary by season and party size. The booking page shows live availability and the final price.
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.
