March 8th is Machiya Day in Japan! Cityscape of Kyoto & different Kyo-machiya townhouses on a bike

Have you heard about Machiya Day? Well, it's on March 8th every year and you can check out the Machiya day events that are happening in different cities in Japan. Also, I wanted to show you the streetscape of Kyoto while on a bike, as well as the different kinds of traditional Kyo-machiya townhouses that you can find throughout the city.

The enthusiasm you have for these wonderful Machiya appreciated.

Thank you! Hope I can keep doing this for the next 20-30 years (at the very least)!

The bicycle tour was great, thank you, I enjoyed seeing the faster pace than walking.

Thank you! Almost cherry blossom season in Japan so I might just make a simple video of the cherry blossoms while biking around the city :)

Takayama would be a great city to also celebrate the Machiya Day

That is true! Takayama is also on top of my list of places to approach next year.

Thanks for watching! Finally have another update coming up today....not a ton of progress but getting very close!

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I very interested one of those houses you come up with a lot of things on how to obtain one or whatnot but you don't give no notification of where and how to go and who to talk to who to see so I'm asking you is there any way that someone can meet with you say in October or something and you can introduce him to who you have to see how you can get one of these houses I'm very interested to be moving to Japan and I'm going to be coming to to start trying to find me one of those machines abandoned houses but I don't want one that's completely tore up it's going to cost me a hundreds and hundreds of thousand dollars to fix

[@GoodOldHousesJapan]

Hi Marion, thank you for the comment. I'm hoping to make videos that explain what a person's journey is like from searching to finally buying an old house in Japan.
