FAUCHON L’Hotel Kyoto Unveils "Millennium Water", A New Chapter In Sustainable HotelManagement
FAUCHON L'Hotel Kyoto is proud to announce the revival of an on-site water well allowing the hotel direct accessto the city's renowned mineral water. In anticipation of their 3rd Anniversary, the aptly named "Millennium Water"
will be in use throughout the hotel starting in Spring, 2024. The high-quality groundwater will be available forguests to enjoy at the same time as contributing to sustainable water practices.

Professor Kusumi of Kansai University, who has conducted extensive research on the groundwater ingreater Kyoto, comments "from a topographical and geographical perspective, the Kyoto Basin issurrounded by mountainous terrain covered with trees and a network of rivers flowing into the basin at
a degree comparable to Lake Biwa. In particular, the stratum where FAUCHON L'Hotel Kyoto is locatedhas a thick layer of sand and gravel, making it possible to obtain high-quality groundwater".

Kyoto, the Millennial Capital of Japan, has long fostered a culture embedded in the "pure spirit" ofnaturally occurring water underground. Revered by masters of the Tea Ceremony, many of whom kept
their own wells, the water of Kyoto is a culinary institution, producing the rich food culture that is "KyoCuisine". The soft water has a gentle texture and is well-loved amongst Kyoto’s culinary aficionados for
its umami-enhancing characteristics.

In line with the theme " FAUCHON meets Kyoto", the hotel will be introducing “Millennium Water” as a
key ingredient to restaurant menus. Furthermore, not only will guests be able to taste the Ancient Capital
but also immerse one’s entire body in the life-giving liquid during bathing.
