As well as being a beautiful piece of architecture, this budget-friendly house has the flexibility to sleep up to five people. Textured, earthy colored walls, shoji sliding paper doors, tatami mat bedrooms, and warm wooden flooring in the kitchen and living space, Aki is overflowing with style and traditional Japanese elegance. However, it still feels calm, simple, and understated. Aki, along with two other Shiki Complex houses, Haru and Hikari, 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. Throughout the home, the rooms are flooded with a soft, diffused light, emitting an ambiance of tranquility and lightness, the perfect atmosphere in which to immerse yourself after a long day exploring the delights of the city. This two-story, two-bedroom, 79 square meter home is generous in terms of space and even features a quaint Japanese garden. The kitchen is renovated and fully equipped so you can embrace authentic Japanese elegance while still retaining your creature comforts; it’s the perfect balance of all the elements. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35840000/35838800/35838708/4b6b24e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shiki Homes | HIKARI 光 Central Kyoto - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=35838708&PinnedHotelID=35838708&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57540000/57538000/57537935/a4422e6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A relaxing guest house with a scent of learning an / Kyoto Kyōto Central Kyoto - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=57537935&PinnedHotelID=57537935&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73120000/73119200/73119184/c4b15dfe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shiki Homes | IKKO 一耕の宿 9 Higashiyama Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=73119184&PinnedHotelID=73119184&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36350000/36344200/36344131/34a9005a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5\` to imperial palace & subway.
