Naramachi District, Nara

Naramachi District is an old quarter of Nara, Japan. This is where you will fine the charming machiya, or merchant house, the majority of which were built from the mid 18th to the 19th centuries.

Many of the old houses in the Naramachi District have a narrow width fronting the street, but extremely long. This is because tax was calculated according to the width of a building's frontage to the street.

The Naramachi district is a good place to explore and look at the traditional crafts of Nara. You can find here galleries and shops selling traditional items.
