| The first visitor-friendly guest house dedicated for women has been open
since April 2015 in the historic district of Tondabayashi Jinaimachi in
Osaka Prefecture, Japan, which have been selected to a conservation district
of traditional buildings in the country. The owner of the guesthouse, Ms. Chikayo Tomarino, was grown up in Fujiidera, Osaka prefecture and through her experience of a company employee and serving visitors at an inn in Kyoto, she desired to open a guesthouse dedicated for women visitors. After looking for various candidate sites of guesthouse, she decided to retrofit the interior of an old townhouse that had become vacant in Jinaimachi, Tonadabayashi, where vacant traditional Japanese style townhouses are being utilized for shops. The name of the guesthouse "Tomari-ya" has been derived from her own name, and has been further taking advantage of the sound and nuance of the Kansai dialect "Why don't you stay up?" I hope after the opening, many visitors including foreign visiotrs come to Jinaimachi Tondabayashi, experience to stay up at the guesthouse and to touch upon the warmth of old houses, then the rustic attractions of Jinaimachi,Tondabayashi are to be disseminated around the world. 1) How did you open a guesthouse? Her English teacher told me "I wanted to stay up at an inn, Japanese style accomodations, however the fee is so expensive and very disappointing." It is the opportunity. 2) Please tell us about tourists'attractions of Jinaimachi. Thouygh the historic district is not touristy like Kyoto and Nara, there remain many traditional Japanese houses to attract overseas travelers. I was born and grown up in the local area (Minamikawachi region). I can promote PR of Minamikawachi. The historic district is located at 10 minutes walk from the main station. The place has been little well-known, but it deserves high value of potentiality for tourism resources. 3) How do you want the guesthouse to be? Please tell us your aspirations? "Tomari-Ya" serves only women at 18 years of age or older, anyway while maintaining the tranquility, it will be the comfortable place where the exchange is born among many people, including local residents, regardless home and abroad. At the same time busy women who are you active in society (and of course, including housewives) can spare valuable time to change air and feel refreshed a little, and visitors are inclined to drop in at the palce anytime. on May 7, 2015 by author |

National conservation district of valuable traditional buildings
Jinaimachi town, a part of Tondabayashi-cho located in Tonadabayashi city
has been chosen as a national conservation district of valuable traditional
buildings since 1997, which is only selected in Osaka Prefecture. Among
approximately 500 buildings in the town, 181 buildings built during the
period from the Edo era to the early Showa era have been identified as
traditional buildings.
An application for prior approval to the section of cultural properties
in board of education of Tondabayashi city is required when any change
of current exterior appearances viewed from a street in the conservation
district such as enlargement, renovation, repair, redecoration, change
of the color, new construction and demolition of any buildings is to be
made. After repairing works for the conservation of the exterior appearances,
the reconstruction and face-lifting in consideration of landscaping, a
white wall, a board fence, and a lattice door of traditional house remain
as used to be, and rustic and calm atmosphere has been kept as people still
live in those houses.
The signpost is provided with main traditional residences to explain each
origin and history, and those guiding signposts cum street lights have
been placed along the streets of stone-pavement.
In addition, the appearances of newly built buildings are also harmonized
with the neighboring historic district in consideration for the traditional
townscape in Jinaimachi town.
