[ The Kurashiki Machiya Trust ]

Non-Profit Organization "The Kurashiki Machiya Trust"

The City of Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture is famous for the unique townscape of traditional Japanese style townhouses which are called machiya in Japanese.

These townhouses covered by clay tile roofing and storehouses with thick plastered walls are the symbol of this city.

These buildings and townhouses were mainly constructed from the Edo to the Meiji era(17th to early 20th century).

A 13.5 hectare section of the Kurashiki-Gawa riverside area called "the Bikan(lit. aesthetic) Historical Quarter" was selected as "an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings" by the Government of Japan in 1979.

The object of "the Kurasihiki Machiya Trust(KMT)" establishment

The historic machiya style buildings and machiya located by Kurashiki-Gawa riverside form precious aesthetic scenery. Because of difficulties maintaining original architecture, vacant houses and parking lots are increasing. Many citizens are afraid of losing traditional Japanese style townhouses and also culture itself.

To preserve traditional culture and lifestyle, non-profit organization "The Kurasihiki Machiya Trust(KMT)" was established in 2007.
