Built in Kyoto. Monitoring Japan.

Protection for Japan's Traditional Buildings

KyoSensa combines discreet sensor technology, environmental intelligence and human-reviewed analysis to help identify moisture, mould and building risks before they become prohibitively expensive to repair.

Why KyoSensa

Protect the building you love, and your investment in it

Your building is a valuable asset. Catching moisture early, before it reaches the structure, is the difference between a day of carpentry and a year of restoration. KyoSensa watches continuously, so you do not have to.

Protect Your Investment

Heritage timber and craft is difficult to replicate. Early detection preserves the original fabric, and the value that comes with it.

Save Time and Money

A small leak caught early is a quick repair. Left hidden, the same problem can mean replacing structural timber and emergency scaffolding that cost many times more.

Peace of Mind, Even from Afar

If your machiya or kominka is a second home, you cannot be there every day. KyoSensa is, and it tells you only when something genuinely needs your attention.

For the people who manage buildings

Built for the people who manage buildings

KyoSensa gives property managers, building specialists and monitoring providers a single platform for sensor readings, environmental conditions, seismic events, analysis, alerts and reporting. It can sit behind your own service, and your customers remain yours.
