before.
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.”
