– Spot introduction –

Tomidaya is located on Omiya-dori, the center of Senryo-gatsuji, where it is said that 1,000 ryo of silk was once moved in a day.

Even in a town where Kyomachiya are lined up, this house is a very rare traditional style merchant townhouse.

There are popular power spots within walking distance, such as Seimei Shrine (3 minutes walk), Imamiya Shrine, and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, as well as many long-established food restaurants loved by locals.

The townscape of townhouses attracts many people.
