Traditional Japanese Machiya House Tour in Kyoto - with Jeff Berglund

As a part of this year's MINKA SUMMIT event at the end of April 2026, we had the wonderful opportunity to tour keynote speaker Jeff Berglund's fabulous riverside MACHIYA in Kyoto along the famous KAMO river.

Jeff shared so many fascinating stories of design, history and culture.
