Houses in Kyoto

babibubebo | 9 06 2007

With Kyoto’s endless amount of temples and shrines and such a unique and rich history, sometimes the smaller, but equally beautiful, things are missed. When in Kyoto, of course some of the bigger places are nice and “must sees,” but also do not be afraid to go off the beaten path, got lost, and find your own place.

House in Kyoto

One thing that makes Kyoto such an interesting city is the mix of a very old society and culture with the modern day Japan. This contrast can really make for some interesting photos and can be seen all over the city. Let’s take houses in Kyoto for an example. Houses and buildings in Japan can really make for some interesting photos, but even more so in Kyoto.

    I just wanted to say that I agree with you about this. Kyoto has a lot of old style houses that you just don’t see in other places in Japan. Even my Japanese friends have told me they really like the houses there.

    Hey Chris,

    Thanks for the comment. Yeah the houses are def special in Kyoto, especially the more you get into the residential areas. Also the wooden/bamboo blinds are very popular in Kyoto. You can see them other places in Japan, but almost every house in Kyoto has that style.
