“"Preserving Kyoto townhouses for the future"

This is a comprehensive information website about traditional Kyoto townhouses (Kyomachiya) provided by the city of Kyoto.

Kyoto townhouses, symbols of Kyoto's streetscape and lifestyle, have seen a resurgence in value in recent years. They are now used in a variety of ways, including not only as residences but also as shops, cultural and artistic facilities, university campuses, and offices. However, many Kyoto townhouses are being demolished without any consideration for their preservation or transmission.

This website provides useful information for owners, users, and businesses of traditional Kyoto townhouses, with the aim of passing them on to the next generation.
