三井越後屋の創業者「三井高利」は、伊勢松阪に生まれ、若くして江戸にある兄の店で働き、のち、松阪に戻って結婚したのち、金融業を営む。松阪で力を蓄え、52歳になった延宝元年（1673）、室町通蛸薬師に仕入店を開き、江戸・本町に三井越後屋呉服店を開業しました。 商売も発展し、起動に乗ってくると、蛸薬師の店を拡張しましたが、越後屋がいよいよ大繁盛し、借家では手狭となり、宝永元年（1704）、室町通二条の場所、冷泉（れいせん）町に家屋敷を購入して移転しました。 その後、昭和58年（1983）に閉店するまで存続し続けました。現在は三井不動産が記念庭園を築き、三井京都創業の地として保存伝承しています。 この地は三越京都支店として存続していたときは広さ950坪にも及びました。同支店の閉店後、三井不動産が一部の68坪を譲り受けて「三井越後屋京本店（ほんだな）記念庭園」（非公開）としました。北側のマンションも元は同じ敷地です。 Mitsui Takatoshi, the founder of Mitsui Echigoya, was born in Ise Matsusaka, worked at his brother's shop in Edo at a young age, and after returning to Matsusaka to get married, he started the financial business. He gained strength in Matsusaka, and in the first year of Enpo (1673) when he was 52 years old, he opened a store for Muromachi Takoyakushi and opened a Mitsui Echigoya dry goods store in Edo and Honmachi. As the business developed and started, the store of the 蛸 Yakushi was expanded, but Echigoya was finally prosperous, and the rented house became too small. ) I bought a house and moved to the town. After that, it continued to exist until it closed in 1983. Currently, Mitsui Fudosan has built a memorial garden and has preserved it as the place where Mitsui Kyoto was founded. When this area survived as the Mitsukoshi Kyoto branch, it had an area of 950 tsubo. After the branch closed, Mitsui Fudosan took over a part of 68 tsubo and made it "Mitsui Echigoya Kyo Main Store (Hondana) Memorial Garden" (closed). The condominium on the north side is originally on the same site.
