The KK Machiya Renovation
This Machiya is perfectly located in downtown Gojo. This historic Machiya with a large garden, underwent a renovation to preserve its cultural significance. Our skilled artisans carefully took apart the old building, saving materials like aged timber and shoji screens. The renovation of KK Machiya aimed to honor the past while adding modern comforts. We added advanced heating, cooling, and insulation systems. This project respects Kyoto’s history while meeting today’s practical needs, creating a renovated Machiya that will be a cultural landmark in the city center
