This place is a real time thief!” (In the best way possible!)
“This place is a real time thief! It’s so much fun, I could play here forever and completely lose track of time.”
Yesterday, we received such a wonderful compliment from a guest who was deeply focused on playing Kendama.
Next to them, others were absorbed in spinning Koma (spinning tops) or listening to the satisfying “clack” of Daruma Otoshi.
Whether you’re an adult or a child, everyone eventually gets lost in the joy of play here. At AriHana Kyoto, nothing makes us happier than being a place where you can comfortably “forget about time.”
