CORDURA®︎ TUBE Official YouTube [Machiya Courtyard Café!? A Surprisingly Beautiful Visit to master-piece’s Kyoto Store] : 2025.05.07

About master-piece KYOTO

To let visitors experience the atmosphere of Kyoto while shopping, the bag brand master-piece opened a café within a renovated machiya (traditional Kyoto townhouse).

While the store showcases the brand’s products, it also emphasizes architectural elements that preserve the charm of a traditional machiya.

The space has been modernly renovated while preserving the original spirit of the former kimono wholesaler. You’ll find earthen walls, beams, and pillars that retain the character of the time.

At the back of the store, a small courtyard garden features all the essential elements—stone lanterns, a tsukubai (stone basin), moss, and white gravel—compact yet rich in traditional charm.

You can also enjoy a quiet and relaxing atmosphere in the sunken seating area, making you forget you’re in the middle of the city.
