Kyoto Modern Architecture Festival

The Kyoto Modern Architecture Festival is an annual event that opens modern buildings across the city to the public. The 2025 edition takes place from November 1 to 9. It offers a rare opportunity to explore Kyoto’s 20th-century architecture — from residences and schools to banks and churches — and to appreciate the beauty of modern design within the city’s historic landscape.

Here are some photos I took during previous editions of the festival.

Terae Family’s Former House and Dye Factory(1935)
At first glance, it looks Western from the outside, but inside lies a traditional Japanese residence — a machiya built in the omoteya-zukuri style.

This architectural style blends a Western-style façade with a Japanese living space at the back, reflecting Kyoto’s harmony of tradition and modernity in the early 20th century.
