Kyoto is a masterclass in heritage preservation. ⛩️✨
I’m incredibly impressed by how the Japanese government restores Machiya (traditional townhouses) right in the heart of the modern city.
Through smart subsidies and strict design codes, they’ve ensured these centuries-old wooden gems aren't just "museums," but living, breathing parts of the community.
It’s the perfect balance of progress and history. 🇯🇵🪵
