Hyotan-machi Machiya

Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Pref.

Kanazawa, located along the Sea of Japan in the Hokuriku region, is a castle town known since ancient times for its refined art and culture. This old Machiya townhouse, situated right in the heart of the historic district, features a robust structure capable of withstanding the area's heavy snowfall, while also showcasing a delicate facade. The living quarters are adorned with lacquered materials, adding a touch of Kanazawa's distinctive elegance. The graceful Asano River, which runs behind the house and was likely used for transporting soy sauce ingredients and products, enhances the property's value and historical significance. Furthermore, it only takes a 16 minutes walk to both the JR Shinkansen Kanazawa station and the Higashi Chaya "geisha" District.

Why KORYOYA houses?

The traditional Japanese houses listed on KORYOYA are all built before 1950 with the traditional construction method.

The traditional method is the result of more than a thousand years of past carpenters passing down their efforts and wisdoms. As no new houses can be built with the traditional construction method under current law, the high craftsmanship is in danger of becoming a dying art.
