We're launching a TikTok account called "Kyoto Machiya for the Future" to share the charm and uses of traditional Kyoto townhouses!
Kyoto City is committed to preserving and passing on traditional Kyoto townhouses, which are symbols of Kyoto's distinctive streetscapes, landscapes, and lifestyle.
To raise awareness of the value and current state of Kyoto townhouses among many people both domestically and internationally, and to expand the network of people involved in the preservation and inheritance of these townhouses, we will begin sharing the charm and usage examples of Kyoto townhouses on TikTok, a platform specializing in short videos.
The four videos we are releasing this time will feature firsthand accounts from people who are using traditional Kyoto townhouses to carry out unique initiatives, so please be sure to watch them (for more details, please see the press release).
