Yes, we have old style areas especially near temples or historic spots.
Local goverment often regulate breaking the old style houses, if they are worth preservating.

As I am in Kansai area(including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe), I recommend you to visit Kansai area. Kansai area has longer history than Tokyo(Kanto area).
Therefore you can enjoy traditional cultures.
Ah. Thanks for answering the question.. I'm actually really interested in visiting Japan's countryside, moreso than city areas like Tokyo, but it'll be some time before I ever get enough money and time to do so..
