SHIKI

Shiki was founded in 2014 by Chai Kanda, an Australian-born entrepreneur with a background in business, finance, and law... Although machiya vacation rentals are our main game, Shiki Properties is much more than just an accommodation company. We're an ever-expanding, international collective of local residents with a passion for showcasing Kansai's diverse and timeless beauty... We are passionate about preserving the beauty of Kansai's machiya, which is why we're also a licensed real estate company and are always looking for new opportunities to develop new facilities. Sadly, over time many of the country's old homes have been demolished for development or left in disrepair, but we want to get involved with saving these buildings. We're on a mission to maintain and breathe new life into these cultural icons, and the people who support Shiki by staying at our properties are, in turn, helping us do it.
