I've visited Kyoto many times because I really like it. The reason why is there is a lot of traditional architectures and the atmosphere is incredibly awesome. They protect their style which called old-fashioned by some people, but I think old-fashioned things relate to history is must be taken care. As you know, the McDonald's image color is red, but actually, Kyoto's Mc's color isn't red, it's brown. It surprised me when I saw it, because it was completely different from a usual one. I asked why its color is different from other ones to a staff. she said that Kyoto's government and citizens want to protect a lot of beautiful landscapes in Kyoto, so when Mc tried to build their branch in Kyoto, the government made an obligation with them to change the color red to brown. Then, they can share the place. By the way, there are some Maiko, who wear the Kimono, in Kyoto. Moreover, the row of houses along the streets were made us nostalgic and calm. If you have a chance to come to Japan, I strongly recommend you to go there.
I didn't notice that Mc is brown in Kyoto. I really want to visit Japan again and again. There are too many things and places that once is not enough.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I wish Chinese Government would do to my country. However they are not.
ReplyDeleteI have only seen Kyoto in pictures in magazines, but it has already fascinated me so much. I love the traditional feeling there.
A friend of mine has already asked me to go there with her one day. Sure I will. And I would to see the brown McDonald's, too!
What about the food ? Are there any sushi in Japanese Macs ?
