Kyoto doors, much like the city itself, feel quiet, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in tradition.
In general, they are simple and understated rather than grand. Many are made of wood that has been left to age naturally, so you’ll often see soft browns, greys, and weathered textures that tell a story of time passing. The grain of the timber is part of the beauty—nothing feels over-polished.

Some interesting doors found Teresa 😀
I agree Brian.
Some lovely doors there… subtle, simple and respectful.
Very well said scooj!
They all tell a story xx
So true.
One thing I found odd in Japan were the random vending machines in the street
And so many flavours that I can’t understand.
So lovely. I would love to see for myself
Thanks Cath. You have to.
I love these simple doors. Number 6 is my favorite. I love the lines and the basic style.
For sure, the simple the better. Thanks Dan.
Good catch!
Yes, doors are part of Kyoto’s character.
Lovely doors and also fun to see ne of those ubiquitous vending machines – they fascinated me!
Lovely doors.
Thanks Pepper.
