Short trip to Kyoto. Probably first time in 20 years.
Compared to Tokyo, it felt much more compact.
What stood out to me most was the strong dedication to preserving the city’s traditional atmosphere. You can feel that sense of respect not only from locals, but even from many tourists.
I think that comes from the people who live there truly understanding what is worth protecting. You can see it in every corner of the city.
Having pride and a clear identity is important, especially in a globalized world where so many places start to look and feel the same.
