#1 1928 Building

- The 1928 Building is a three-story Art Deco-style reinforced concrete structure located in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City.

- Built in 1928 as the Kyoto branch of the Mainichi Newspaper Company, it was designed by Takeda Goichi, known as the "father of Kansai architecture."

・Until 1998, it was used as the Kyoto branch of the Mainichi Newspaper Company, but has since been used as a gallery, restaurant, free space, etc.

・Registered as Kyoto City's second tangible cultural property, it is one of Takeda's representative architectural designs.

It is considered one of the products.

・Located on the corner of Sanjo-dori and Gokocho, it is a popular spot where you can enjoy art and food.

#2 Fumitsubaki Building

・Built in 1920, the Buntsubaki Building was originally used as a trading company. It is now a commercial facility and is a registered tangible cultural property of the country. Secession style.

#3 ShinPuhKan

・ShinPuhKan was built in 1926, when Kyoto was in the process of transitioning from an ancient capital to a modern city. Its predecessor, the Former Kyoto Central Telephone Office, was completed.

The building was designed by Tetsuro Yoshida, an engineer at the Ministry of Communications. He is known as a pioneer of modernism and is also known for his works such as the Tokyo Central Post Office (now KITTE) and the Osaka Central Post Office. The former Kyoto Central Telephone Office, one of Yoshida's masterpieces, was eventually recognized for its historical value and was designated as Kyoto City's first registered cultural property in 1983.
