Tondaya, an historic Kyoto machiya house, achieved National Cultural Heritage status in 1999 and was further recognized as a Structure of Landscape Importance in Kyoto in 2007. Originally launched as a Kimono wholesaler 140 years ago, we have since transformed into the Nishijin Lifestyle Museum, dedicated to fostering the understanding of traditional Kyoto lifestyle culture. At Tondaya, visitors can immerse themselves in Japan’s rich cultural heritage, with opportunities to experience traditional Kimono dressings, partake in a tea ceremony, and tour the historic Machiya, a place steeped in the history of Kyoto.
