Luckily, another Machiya in Kyoto city is being preserved and renovated. The renovation will take close to 6 month so I decided to have a video tour of what this Machiya currently looks like, together with the architect Muranishi-san.
You can find more of Muranishi-san’s work here

Very nice steven🎉
Nice!!!!
How cost effect would it be to have an akiya gutted & renovated/modernized vs a complete tear down and modular home dropped in it's place?
I like the idea of a traditional Japanese home, but I would want things like central heating/cooling and changes to the layout.
I'm so glad that you're back I was worried that you was going to take a big big vacation and as usual as usual you have you have the right right on the money what I'm looking for but not as big as this not as big as this but I am looking for something similar but smaller I'm hoping to meet with you very very soon and that we can find something that doesn't take as long to renovate that we can use for other reasons when I am not in Japan keep up the good work and stay in contact right on the money thank
Excellent video very interesting. Will wait for your updates x
This was really cool to watch. Really love how the upstairs looks and the view
thank you for sharing the development process with us it seems like a lot of work but i'm sure it will turn out great.
Hello Steven! Another transformation that we can follow
I appreciate your explanation. All of the things are specific to me. 🔝🔝
A beautiful house with a great atmosphere. After renovation it will be gorgeous. Thanks for the video!
For any old Japanese houses, is the height of the door always the same? Wondering if I will bump my head if I purchase such houses. I am 1.8M tall.
Lovely – thanks 😊
Not much work to do. Simply updating, that's the best way to stay within the budget. I'm glad they are keeping the tatami rooms, they decorate so beautifully. Thanks for showing us the tour.
I really like those "hidden" stairs in the house. I've seen similar machiyas that also hide their stairs. Is there a reason why, other than perhaps for aesthetic purpose?
wow what a beautiful place!! it would be a dream to own a house like that, the renovation plans sound really nice as well ^^
Cool! Hope we can see it when it's completed!
Nice house though I'd want it in the mountains! Looking forward to any future updates 👍😊
This is going to be an amazing project!
Well this house is very cozy and a little outdated. I love that outdoor patio space with the garden… looking forward to the finished renovation.
PS thank you for English translation
