Mori House

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.

Nestled near the foothills of Kitayama, The Hikari Villa was designed to frame light like an art form. Large sliding panels blur the line between interior and garden, while a palette of cedar, paper, and stone creates visual harmony.

The open living area feels tranquil and expansive, punctuated by sculptural details and soft textures. Every space — from the tatami room to the wooden soaking tub — invites reflection and calm.

A stay at The Hikari Villa feels less like travel and more like time suspended: deliberate, luminous, and deeply connected to place.

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.
