In 2011, HOTEL ANTEROOM KYOTO opened its doors as a multifunctional complex of ‘hotel and residence’ after being renovated from a dormitory located in Kyoto. Focusing on the value of a district, ANTEROOM KYOTO brought a breath of fresh air to a backward area by presenting activities associated with ‘art and culture’ in the form of exciting projects and storytelling devices. Moreover, by continuing to work in close cooperation with young artists and creators, ANTEROOM KYOTO has now become a popular spot attracting visitors from all around the world. In 2020, ANTEROOM NAHA opens in Okinawa, Japan and ANTEROOM SEOUL in Seoul, Korea, working toward creating a special space joining together art and culture, neighborhood and district, and furthermore, different communities of Asia.
