OLD AND NEW in JAPAN…

#AbFav_WINDOWS_DOORS_💒

 

We did Tokyo, Kanazawa and Kyoto.

Kanazawa, a lovely city, lies between Tokyo and Kyoto.

We spent a great few days there!

The last warm sunlight, ooh how it makes the old wood glow.

Japanese old wooden house.

We visited the whole neighbourhood, BEAUTIFUL!!!

Machiya are traditional wooden townhouses found throughout Japan.This here is in Kanazawa.

Machiya or townhouses and nōka (farm dwellings) constitute the two categories of Japanese vernacular architecture known as minka (folk dwellings).

Machiya originated as early as the Heian period and continued to develop through to the Edo period and even into the Meiji period.

Machiya housed urban merchants and craftsmen, a class collectively referred to as chōnin (townspeople).

The new: the ultra-modern grand station of Kanazawa and Kyoto.

 

Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
