Tokyo vs Kyoto


Tokyo and Kyoto...

East capital and west capital...


Which do you think is a real Japan?

It is sure that both are part of Japan. But what I am asking here is that which seems more like Japan in terms of beauty.
I think Kyoto have preserved a lot of Japanese treasure which keeps Kyoto city aesthetic and consistent such as old architecture, temples, shrines, food and lots of nature.
I think it is important for people, mainly local people, to preserve their own city in order to protect Japanese beauty
that Japanese people have built up over thousands of year.
How about Tokyo? Although it seems, of course, convenient and efficient, it is incoherent as we see from the appearance
. We can not see any of scenery Edo people was seeing.
That's what I wondered on the train today...
