Last update :

The ShinPuhKan, a commercial facility in Karasuma Oike, reopened in 2020, blending historical architecture with new construction.
The brick-built "Preserved Building" is a renovated structure of the old Kyoto Central Telephone Office from 1926, designated as Kyoto City’s first registered cultural property.
The newly constructed wing, designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, who also worked on the new National Stadium, added a modern touch to the complex.
