Former Izakaya in a Traditional Machiya on a Backstreet Near Kawaramachi Station
This property is a vacant kominka (traditional house) located on a backstreet near Kawaramachi Station in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. The building was previously operated as an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) and is now being sold in its as-is condition. The seller purchased the property during the COVID-19 pandemic as an owner-change acquisition, having originally considered using it for a tea ceremony room or a private lodging (minpaku). The decision to sell was made in the hope of finding a new owner who will treat the property with care.
The property is essentially in a skeleton state, as the previous izakaya tenant has vacated. According to the seller, before the izakaya, the upper floor was used for tea ceremony gatherings and yose (comedy/storytelling performances). It is also said that before the renovation, there was a small pond in the kitchen area, evoking the atmosphere of a small Kyoto-style traditional house. The building shows signs of age-related deterioration.
The property could be used as an izakaya again, or its character could be preserved for a venue to enjoy tea ceremonies and yose. With the addition of a simple shower, it could also be utilized for minpaku (private lodging), or alternatively, it could serve as a private residence. The izakaya previously attracted a steady stream of local customers.
