Secret Asia: Living Inside the traditional Machiya

Habitats of the World: Kyoto, Japan | Investigate Asia We journey to Kyoto, Japan’s former imperial capital and one of the last cities where centuries-old traditions still shape daily life. Tucked between temples and quiet alleyways, wooden townhouses known as machiya preserve the architectural and cultural soul of old Japan. These narrow homes, with their inner gardens, sliding paper doors, and tatami floors, are more than just buildings — they are living reflections of Japanese aesthetics, rituals, and family life. As modernity surrounds them, a few residents continue to live in these traditional homes, preserving a way of life rooted in harmony, restraint, and deep respect for the past. With host and philosopher Philippe Simay, this episode invites us inside the walls of a Kyoto machiya to experience the beauty and philosophy of a home where space, silence, and nature all speak. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to Investigate Asia - Explore the diverse landscapes of Asia through in-depth documentaries that delve into the region's politics, economy, culture, and history.

Wilderness Roads: Inside China’s Most Isolated Villages

Wilderness Roads: China | Forging Paths in the Most Remote Territories | Investigate Asia In the south of China, the legendary province of Guangxi is a natural fortress. Hidden away amongst spectacular mountain peaks, villages deserted by the younger generations still survive despite being cut off from the modern world as no roads have been built to reach them. Rather than investing in an expensive and unprofitable road network, the Chinese government resettles village inhabitants on the outskirts of major cities. The village of Xiao Jiang will not be spared. But one villager decides to stand his ground. To save his home, Yuan Feng HUANG dreams of building a road, digging through the mountain over more than 5 kilometers - a truly audacious undertaking for one man alone. This was his plan for his retirement. But at the age of 48, Yuan Feng learns that he has cancer and that his days are numbered. So, he’s decided to build the road now. If he succeeds, the village of Xiao Jiang will be saved and the inhabitants’ lives will be transformed
