Ōmi-Hachiman Machiya Club is a local restoration that has evolved into a multifaceted destination, encompassing accommodations, retail spaces, and a community market. This project was envisioned and started by Toshinori Miyamura and his father[1] in Suwaicho of Ōmihachiman, Shiga Prefecture. Officially starting in 2012, the facility itself was opened in 2016 in aims to celebrate, preserve, and rejuvenate the local culture by promoting and supporting an array of local goods, crafts, and artworks.[1] The architecture of the building complex includes two floors as well as a back garden which connects into another two floor building.[1] The main motive behind the restoration of this building was not only for local support but to specifically preserve the final brewery of Ōmihachiman which were the thoughts of Toshinori's father.[1]
