- Spot Introduction -


Tomitaya is located on Omiya-dori, in the heart of Senryogatsuji, where it is
said that 1,000 ryo of silk once moved in a day.


Even in a town lined with Kyoto townhouses, this house is a very rare building
as it is a traditional-style merchant townhouse.


There are popular power spots within walking distance, such as Seimeijinja
Shrine (3 minute walk), Imamiya Shrine, and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, and there
are also many long-established food restaurants beloved by locals scattered
around the area.


The townscape of the townhouses attracts many people.


You can see six gardens, three storehouses, two wells, three tea ceremonies
and a Noh room, all within this wonderful museum.

Enjoy an authentic experience in a culturally-preserved townhouse.
