- ekianjo 2y agoNot the central part of Kyoto. You can walk in areas like Gion that have mostly remained the same for centuries. Of course as cities get bigger you get concrete. just like other cities Kyoto has grown in the 20th century and at some point you need concrete instead of wood
- decimalenough 2y agoGion and Sannenzaka are the very definition of touristy Kyoto.
- ekianjo 2y agoThey are touristy because they are authentic in the first place.
