Since 2017, March 8th has been officially registered by the Japan Anniversary Association as "Machiya Day" through Kyo-Machiya Info Center, which Hachise is also a member of.
As more and more Kyo-Machiyas are being demolished each year, Machiya Day aims to promote Kyo-Machiya's historical and cultural value in order to help preserve these treasures for years to come.
The week of Mar 4th to Mar 12th 2023 is also set as Machiya week where local shops host their own events at Kyo-Machiyas throughout Kyoto city.
