Sunlit Kyoto Street with Traditional Japanese Architecture

Wide-angle, street-level scene of a narrow urban street in Japan lined with traditional wooden machiya houses. White plaster walls with dark timber lattice, gently curved tiled roofs, sliding shoji doors, and small wooden signboards. Red paper lanterns hover above doorways; potted plants frame entrances; kanji signage adds character. Overhead, a tangle of subtle utility wires. The street is bathed in a clear blue sky; warm sunlight highlights the timber grain and plaster textures, casting crisp long shadows. A few locals and bicycles appear in the distance, conveying everyday life in a timeless blend of tradition and cityscape. Photorealistic, hyper-detailed, cinematic lighting, 8k quality, rich textures and natural color grading that emphasizes warm browns against the azure sky.
