About us

Traditional restaurants, warehouses, and townhouses in Furumachi have been lost, transformed into parking lots and buildings. Thinking about neighborhoods like this, Kaii Higashiyama, a famous Japanese artist and writer, said, “A city without old buildings is like a man without memories.” Joining hands with the local community, we will strive to preserve the heritage of Furumachi and rejuvenate its bustling spirit. We stand ready to work with you to create a solution for preserving your historic property while keeping a priority on your way of life.
