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. 🇯🇵🪵
