Kyoto emerged post-war with probably the highest concentration of traditional UsefulNotes/JapaneseArchitecture in the country, including around 2000 ShrinesAndTemples.

However, with all the historic and cultural prizes the city has, don't think that the city is stuck in the past--modernization is quickly replacing old buildings with modern architecture. The massive [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Dto_Station Kyoto Station]], serving the national railways, Shinkansen, and Kintetsu private railways, is a sore spot for many traditionalists.
