Where Nature Resonates and Ideas Connect 

HIBIKI SPACE is a place built on conviction: that the best work happens when mind and spirit are deeply connected. It's not just a place to stay—we offer an environment where focus without distractions, authentic connection, and the quiet beauty of Japan come together to inspire your next breakthrough.

The Founder’s Commitment to Creation

I’m Boyko, the founder, and I’ve spent my career in the world of high-level engineering—from bio-mimetic robotics and acoustics to data analysis, complete with a PhD. I've spent years working for research institutes in Japan and Europe, as well as a decade at a top Japanese automaker. But my real passion is supporting the "garage inventor" spirit—the maker, the creator, the writer and the small team ready to change the game. HIBIKI SPACE is my way of dedicating this experience and my deep love for Japan to a community that values deep work and cultural immersion.

The Place: Built for Tranquility and Discovery

The natural setting of our space is essential. We believe that closeness to nature is the true catalyst for peace of mind and creation.

• A Natural Rhythm: The house is nestled on a magnificent river bank, allowing you to fall asleep to the gentle rustling of the water and wake up to the quiet chirp of birdsong. Our traditional Japanese garden is a dedicated space for reflection and finding clarity.

• The Power of Craftsmanship: The house itself is a piece of art—a traditional Japanese gem built by a renowned local carpenter using ancient methods with no nails or metal fasteners. Staying here is an intimate connection to Japanese culture and history. It's only made possible by the generous spirit of the previous owner who entrusted her childhood home to our care.

• Strategic Freedom: While we offer tranquility, we never sacrifice opportunity. The location gives you easy, quick access to the Kansai megapolis (Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto), allowing you to seamlessly pivot between quiet creation and vibrant business or exploration.

The Community: Seeking Meaningful Connection

The people who gather here are not looking for superficial tourism or late-night parties. Our residents are creators, writers, and thoughtful professionals who seek something deeper and more meaningful. They are united by a genuine curiosity about Japan and a desire to exchange ideas and experiences. You will find a kind, considerate community here that makes every conversation a pleasure and every shared space feel like home.

The Meaning: HIBIKI

The name HIBIKI means "resonance" in Japanese. It represents:

• The idea that deeply resonates with your soul.

• The strong feeling of connection invoked by nature or a shared moment.
