伏見の路地According to rumor, Kyoto alleys are a dying breed.
The reason is that, once knocked down or redeveloped, they cannot be rebuilt in the same way due to revised fire codes.
On either side of this alley are small flats, probably inhabited by one person.
In the past many of these alleys - known in Japanese as "roji" - dotted the cityscape of Kyoto.
Outside of areas such as Nishijin and Fushimi, there are fewer and fewer of them.
Nearby was a classic public bath, also in danger of extinction.
Enjoy while you can.
