Tondaya is a traditional Kyoto machiya house, recognized as a National Cultural Heritage site in 1999 and designated as a Structure of Landscape Importance in Kyoto in 2007. Our journey began 140 years ago with a Kimono wholesale business, but today, we run the Nishijin Lifestyle Museum to educate visitors about traditional Kyoto lifestyle culture. At Tondaya, you can immerse yourself in Japanese traditional culture through activities like Kimono dressings, tea ceremonies, and Machiya tours, all within this historically rich space.
