I shared this on Facebook and Twitter, but apparently there will be a viewing event for a long house near the store this Saturday.
I received a flyer from a charismatic real estate agency in Nishitanabe.

Tour of Showa era tenement houses
Many row houses were built in Osaka before the war.
Not only was it built to accommodate the rapid increase in population, but it also proposed a new way of life while adhering to traditional Japanese styles, fostering beautiful scenery and living environments.
However, due to aging and changing lifestyles, this beauty is rapidly disappearing.
This time, with the cooperation of the owner, we will be hosting a tour of a row house that is over 80 years old and remains in good condition, retaining its original charm.
We hope that you will get a feel for what life was like in the early Showa period and give us your opinions on how the museum can be used in the future.
Schedule: 2015/9/12 (Sat)
Time: 13:16-XNUMX:XNUMX
Address: 2-24-11 Hannancho, Abeno-ku, Osaka

It's about two streets north from our shop.
It's really close by. It looks like a nice tenement house.
It's been four years since we moved to Showa-cho.
I thought there would be more similar long-house shops, but the number was less than I expected.
I think the reason is that even though there are people who want to rent and there are vacant houses, the properties are not rising in popularity.
Tenement houses are being demolished one after another and replaced with new buildings.
It seems like the town will lose its charm and become a boring neighborhood like any other.
Whatever the reason, it's quite sad.
As a shop renovated from a tenement house, I feel that we need to effectively convey the appeal of this place as a "high-quality downtown area with quaint buildings remaining," but I feel like I'm not doing enough to do so.
I'm feeling a bit anxious about what lies ahead.
I hope that more people will come to appreciate the good things in the traditional sense.
We hope that anyone who is interested, whether they would like to live here or try something a little different, will come and visit.
This may be an important tour to change people's awareness.
