Kyomachiya Chart Profile

The Kyoto City Landscape and Urban Development Center (a public interest incorporated foundation) creates "Kyoto Machiya Medical Records," which compile cultural information such as the history, culture, and value of each Kyoto Machiya, as well as the building's condition such as its deterioration, and "Kyoto Machiya Profiles," which compile information on the exterior of each Kyoto Machiya, as one means of ensuring that Kyoto Machiya are properly passed on to future generations (fee applies).
