How does Kyoto, which is forbidden to build high-rise buildings, give full play to the fashion sense of combining tradition and modernity?

As the capital and ancient capital of Kansai, Japan, Kyoto exudes historical vicissitudes and elegance from its bones.

In Kyoto, you can't see any tall buildings except Kyoto Tower because of the building protection law. It inherits the classics and continues in this era. Compared with the fashionable streets in Osaka, Tokyo, you may even find Kyoto a bit rustic.

If the story of Kyoto is recorded on a tape, side A represents its elegance and classicality, and side B hides its unknown fashion sense.

In recent years, many fashion brands, buyers' shops, independent bookstores and coffee shops have settled in Kyoto, bringing a refreshing fashion style to this Millennium ancient capital.
