Tairyudo Book Store

Curated by a very congenial owner who himself publishes important books of measured drawings of traditional Japanese structures. Many other publishers of such books are also represented here. What’s more, the modern architecture collection is extensive, including current periodicals. Whether you’re looking for monographs, surveys, journals, or technical building literature, this store is a treasure.

It’s architecture book store. Tons of materials about modern Japanese architecture and the traditional architecture in Japan. Many old temple or palace’s drawing here. The owner is a publisher, published several books about traditional Japanese architecture.

It is an architectural bookstore that I've always wanted to visit.

A bookstore specializing in architecture, located just west of Kawaramachi Dori. It is a Machiya style building.

It is a bookstore that deals with the long-standing construction related special books. Since construction related technical books are broad in scope, we also deal with so-called magazines such as monthly magazines and quarterly magazines related to construction, etc., civil engineering, electrical equipment, air conditioning, ventilation and sanitation equipment, etc. Of course, historical books related to architecture are also categories. If you don't have one at the store, you can get one, or you can send it to a rural area. The actual store faces a line of descent that entered the west of Kawaramachi Dori. [The name of the street is Shin-Ishikigi-dori]. Because the road is narrow, you can not stop in front of the store. It will be used nearby coin parking. As coin parking around is 20 minutes / 200 yen high price, it may be unsuitable for book enthusiasts who always stay in a bookstore ... (ToT) LOL The shop is filled with couples, but it is older and it is a little worrying about future management. . . I do not know if there will be a successor, but I hope that only construction-related specialty bookstores with a history in Kyoto will continue without change in the future.
