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.
