In recent years, the importance of town planning based on the “local context”, such as the history and living culture of the land, has been discussed, but the relationship between the transformation of a place into a tourist destination and the transformation of the local context has not been fully discussed. Therefore, this paper analyses the transformation of spatial functions (architectural form, layout and structure of actual space) and social functions (uses and uses of space) due to the transformation of the area into a tourist destination, targeting the Houen School District in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. The results show that the spatial organization of the area is being qualitatively reconstructed in line with the transformation of the area into a tourist destination, as building forms are being updated and converted to tourism-related uses. It also shows that, while the historic landscape appears to be maintained externally, the reality is that inside it the functions of daily life are gradually being diluted.
