The Goals of “Kyo no Ondokoro”
Founded in Kyoto, Wacoal Corporation started “Kyo no Ondokoro” in fiscal year 2018 as a CSV project aimed to maintain its hometown‘s traditional landscape and build a cooperative community through the preservation of Kyomachiya houses.
We provide high-quality renovations to uninhabited, unmaintained Kyomachiya houses to adapt them to modern living and manage them as vacation cottages. To honor Kyoto's traditional architectural culture, we keep their outward appearances and signature internal constructs, such as pillars and roof beams, as intact as possible.
Wacoal rents each Kyomachiya house from its owner. After being run as a vacation cottage for 10 to 15 years, the houses will be returned to their respective owners in their renovated state. In doing this, we hope to foster a neighborhood where people can continue to live that can be passed on to the next generation.

Kyo no Ondokoro TAKEYAMACHI is located to the southwest of the Kyoto Imperial Palace just six minutes away on foot from the Marutamachi subway station. It stands on a quiet street where houses are tucked in between casual eateries, cafes, a pickle shop, and a bathhouse, where you'll get a taste for everyday life in Kyoto.
Built more than 130 years ago, for many years this traditional Kyoto townhouse (Kyomachiya) was both a place of business as a tool shop and a place to live in. The house has been renovated for a modern lifestyle while taking care to preserve the feel of when it was built as much as possible, making use of the unique space designed for "work-life integration."
The business portion of Kyo no Ondokoro TAKEYAMACHI has been converted into a bakery and cafe, and guests can enjoy waking up to the rhythmic sound of kneading dough and the smell of freshly baked bread. The inn serves a special "Honjitsu no (bread-of-the-day)" breakfast made fresh in the traditional storehouse visible from the dining area, making mornings here an experience to cherish.- Kyo no Ondokoro TAKEYAMACHI #8
