The total number of these traditional Japanese townhouses in Kyoto city dropped from 47,735 in 2009 to 40,146 in 2016. As more and more Kyo-machiya houses are being changed into parking lots or new hotels, the streetscape of Kyoto city may be very different in the next 20-30 years.
All of the 50 Kyo-machiya in this video were taken around Nijo Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace.
