Support Fund for the Preservation and Inheritance of Kyoto Machiya (Traditional Kyoto Townhouses)

We will provide financial assistance to support owners of traditional Kyoto townhouses, which should be prioritized for preservation, to alleviate the financial burden on them regarding daily maintenance and management.

【subject】
Kyoto townhouses designated individually under the Kyoto Townhouse Ordinance (hereinafter referred to as "important Kyoto townhouses"), and those that have also received designation under the Landscape Act, etc., and therefore have a high priority for preservation and inheritance. However, this is limited to those that will be preserved for 10 years after the use of the support funds.
