Ryoan-ji Kyo-machiya
Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City
Ryoanji Temple is an ancient temple in Kyoto city with a world-famous Zen garden. This Showa era Kyo-machiya is located in the neighbourhood with the same name as the temple, being close to nature and away from the busy roads. This Kyo-machiya has retained its original layout and traditional features such as an alcove (Tokonoma), etc. If the garden blocked off by the western-style room is restored, the traditional atmosphere and lifestyle can be further restored. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area surrounded by numerous Buddhist temples, and also adjacent to Ritsumeikan University, a prestigious university, making it a cultural and academic area. It is only a 2 minutes walk to the Ryōanji station as well (Randen Kitano Line).
