traditional buildings in Kyoto

5 comments

1. How traditional are we talking here?

2. The front is a machiya, which is a style that dates back a few hundred years. As for how old it is, it would be anyone’s guess from a picture. These places are often in disrepair or completely gutted, and Japanese houses got replaced a lot even back in the day due to entire cities being giant fire hazards.

3. Is cool how the tree almost seems to pop out, real good work with the lighting

4. Cool tree too. Do you think it was pruned to look like that or it naturally grows like that?

5. [Google Maps](https://www.google.co.jp/maps/place/35%C2%B000'20.9%22N+135%C2%B046'25.4%22E/@35.0058345,135.7725746,17.1z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d35.005809!4d135.773721?authuser=0&entry=ttu)
