The house features plenty of old-world charm, while its modern renovation ensures that guests have all the amenities they need for a comfortable and unforgettable stay. Elegantly simple design and bedrooms that look like something ripped from the pages of a home interior editorial magazine spread, this five-person-capacity home is a wonderful choice when staying in Kyoto. Hikari, along with two other Shiki Complex houses, Haru and Aki, are proudly owned by an individual with long-term ties to Kyoto and the Kamigyo-Ku neighborhood in which the homes are situated. The houses are owned by local Raku-san, the current owner and operator of the nearby Raku Museum. The Raku Museum is a fascinating local landmark dedicated to showcasing the Raku family’s famous ceramics. The Raku family was the family that made the bowls for Sen no Rikyu, Japan’s master of the tea ceremony. You can trust when you stay at a Shiki Complex home your money is going to help support local businesses. With soft, almost matcha-like greens of the bedroom’s tatami, earthy colored walls, and warm wooden finishes, as well as shoji sliding paper doors, Hikari embodies the tranquility of simple Japanese design. Although it has plenty of traditional elegance, it still feels tidy, spacious, and effortlessly livable. Each room of the house has its own distinct personality, and the entire home feels airy and light while also retaining a sense of coziness and warmth. A little smaller than its sister homes Aki and Haru, Hiraki can accommodate up to five guests. It boasts 75 square meters of space spread across two floors and features a Japanese zen garden out the back. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Kitchen -
