Since its opening, the National Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto) has hosted nearly 18,000 conferences and events, laying the foundation for the history and conventions of international conferences in Japan.
ICC Kyoto supports the "Sustainable Development Goals" advocated by the United Nations and is working to "achieve a sustainable society."
With the aim of continuing to be an "international conference center worthy of being a stage for the exchange of discussion," we are working mainly on four important issues.

Educational travel Inquiry program
[Arts and Culture Lecture] Gion Hanamachi Art Museum "The Beauty of the Gorgeous Maiko and the Arts and Culture of Gion"
Gion Kobu in Kyoto has a history of several hundred years. The special existence of "geisha" and "maiko" is made up of the best of Kyoto's various traditional crafts and performing arts. Preserving the unchanged geisha culture since ancient times leads to the passing on of precious traditional techniques.
Geiko and maiko are communication professionals, and their beauty comes not only from their appearance but also from within.
Experience the carefully handed down craftsmanship of the masters and the spirituality of the geisha and maiko who cherish every single gesture and courtesy, and experience the essence of the Japanese culture that Kyoto is so proud of around the world.Flower Street CultureInoue SchoolEtiquettewordingmaikogeishaLINK KYOTOhistoryHospitalityKyoto culturetraditional culture
