Kyoto is considered the cultural capital of Japan and has over 47,000 Kyo-machiyas houses in the city at this point. Visit the city page to see more machiya and kominka houses for sale, and learn about the available subsidies provided by the city for renovating the properties.
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.
The purchasing flow and the types of services you may need depends on factors such as where you live, your ability to communicate in Japanese, and your intended use of the property.
