Hikari Villa

Overlooking the tranquil Shirakawa River, Kawa Residence redefines Japanese tradition with quiet precision. Natural wood, paper screens, and stone floors create a rhythm of shadow and light.

The living room opens onto a private garden, while soft sounds of water flow outside. Inside, craftsmanship shines in every joinery detail.

Ideal for slow travelers, Kawa Residence is an immersion in Kyoto’s enduring elegance — where architecture becomes meditation.

Located near Kyoto’s iconic Ninenzaka street, The Mori House feels like stepping into a living heritage. Its timber structure and shoji windows create a soft, diffused light that shifts with the day.

Inside, rooms flow naturally around a central courtyard, blending the indoors with the quiet rhythm of the garden. Every element — from the handmade tatami mats to the cedar bathtub — reflects balance and respect for craft.

The Mori House invites guests to live in harmony with the seasons, surrounded by history and tranquility.

Enso House embodies the philosophy of “ma” — the space between things. Every element, from its cedar beams to the handcrafted paper screens, is positioned with intention.

The central courtyard garden acts as the home’s soul, filling each room with shifting light and natural stillness. Inside, clean lines and natural textures guide the senses toward calm.

With its two intimate bedrooms and traditional tatami lounge, Enso House offers a poetic experience of Kyoto’s design heritage — peaceful, mindful, and deeply personal.

A restored Kyoto machiya blending tradition and minimalism — tatami rooms, sliding screens, and a courtyard garden create a contemplative stay that honors simplicity.
