At Shizuya Home, we believe in the timeless beauty of a peaceful escape. Our name, Shizuya, translates to “quiet home”, reflecting our mission to craft serene, authentic experiences for travelers seeking a home away from home. We specialize in acquiring traditional Japanese houses and lovingly restoring them into elegant Ryokan—preserving their historic charm while infusing intricate details and artisanal craftsmanship. Starting in the cultural heart of Kyoto, our vision is to transform these architectural treasures into welcoming inns, offering guests an immersive stay rooted in tradition and tranquility. With plans to expand across Japan, Shizuya Home invites the world to discover the soul of Japanese heritage, one peaceful retreat at a time.
CULTURAL LEGACY: UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Kyoto, Japan’s cultural heart, boasts 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, and Toji Temple. With over 1,600 temples, shrines, historic districts, and museums, the city offers endless cultural experiences, attracting visitors year-round.
VISITOR GROWTH
Kyoto’s tourism flourishes, rising from 32.95 million visitors in 2020 to 83.45 million in 2024. The city represents 55% of Japan’s international tourists, with 2025 projections reaching 85–90 million, driven by cultural appeal and a favorable exchange rate, ensuring a strong future for hospitality.
HOTEL OCCUPANCY RATE
Kyoto’s hotels maintain high demand, averaging 78% occupancy in 2024, peaking near 90% in high seasons and staying strong at 70–75% otherwise. With tourism surging, the city faces a shortage of accommodations, highlighting an urgent need for more hotels.
