Kyoto is the cultural capital of Japan. Many tourists come here to admire its majestic temples and magnificent palaces. However, John Einarsen, a photographer who has lived in Kyoto for a long time, decided to draw the public's attention to the small, but still endlessly picturesque buildings, in which, in his opinion, the soul of this city lives. On his Instagram page, you can look into the alleys of Kyoto and see his modest architectural jewels.
