Kyoto
According to Kate Morgan of lonelyplanet.com
“The Japanese Way
of Life - While the rest of Japan
has adopted modernity with abandon, the old ways are still clinging on in
Kyoto. Visit an old shōtengai (market street) and admire the ancient speciality
shops: tofu sellers, washi (Japanese handmade paper) stores and tea merchants.
Then wander through the old streets of Nishijin and Gion past machiya (traditional Japanese
townhouses). That's not to say there's nothing modern about Kyoto – arriving
into futuristic Kyoto Station is a stark sign of that. And throughout the city,
young Kyotoites don the hottest new fashions, while craft beer and single-origin
coffee is taking over.”
