「町家に住まうように旅する」

東大寺、興福寺、春日大社…1300年前に都だった奈良。世界観光都市の一つであるが、今も旧市街地「奈良町」には生活の音が聞こえてくる。住み継がれてきた町家で「これらからの町家暮らし」を体感する。

奈良に限らずの話だが、日本の伝統的な木造住宅が凄まじい勢いで潰されている。住人を失った朽ちた建物に明るい未来はないのだろうか？ 「町家に住まうように旅する」をテーマに、これからの町家暮らしを体感する事が出来ます。

 

“Experience actually living in a Machiya”.

We are a guesthouse with a unique, traditional Japanese style, located in Nara. Nara was the capital of Japan 1300 years ago. Todaiji temple, Kasuga shrine, Koufukuji are located in Nara. This is a one of the tourist city in the world. Kidera no ie is located in the Naramachi area, a neighborhood where the residents are local people. There are many Machiya (Japanese traditional houses) in the neighborhood.

However, nowadays in Japan, many traditional houses are demolished contrary to a worldwide trend to renovate and preserve older, architecturally significant structures.Therefore, our belief is to allow people in Japan and worldwide to have an opportunity to experience our highly valued and treasured Japanese culture. The core of our business is an architectural firm for 30 years.
We renovated Kidera no ie, employing contemporary architectural skills. The concept is to: “Experience actually living in a Machiya”. We hope you will enjoy an unforgettable Machiya experience, while surrounded by the beauty of Nara.
