can i stay there?

I've been dying to travel to Japan for years now. When I eventually do, I'd love to stay at Hotel Anteroom in Kyoto. Hotel Anteroom is a mix of holiday accommodation and rental apartments with a gallery space and restaurant.

Funnily enough, the pared back, industrial aesthetic with dashes of playful detailing are reminiscent of many Melbourne hospitality interiors. I guess you can't blame a girl for wanting to stay at a place that reminds her of home!

These photos were taken by graphic designer/paper artist, Justine of Upon a Fold. Pretty impressive travel photos, hey? Please visit her blog for her personal account of her stay here (and you might as well have a sticky beak some of her other goodies while you're there).
