This project was launched in 2022 with the desire to share the experience of appreciating the existence and splendor of modern architecture that has been carefully preserved and passed down with many people, and of enjoying architecture as an object of appreciation. Buildings and spaces that are usually closed to the public will be specially opened to the public, and this year, the third time the project is being held, a record 3 buildings will participate.

Modern architecture has been passed down as a "living cultural asset" and is a strong expression of Kyoto. Why not experience the charm of this architectural culture, which grows deeper the more you learn about it, such as the ideas of the craftsmen and engineers behind it and the everyday life of the locals that unfolded there?
