Gion Kobu in Kyoto has a history of several hundred years. The special existence of "geiko" and "maiko" is made up of the best of Kyoto's various traditional crafts and traditional performing arts. Preserving the unchanged Hanamachi culture since ancient times leads to the passing on of precious traditional techniques. Geiko and maiko are also communication professionals. Their beauty comes not only from their appearance but also from within. Experience the quintessence of the Japanese culture that Kyoto is proud of around the world by experiencing the carefully passed down craftsmanship and the spirituality of geiko and maiko who cherish every single gesture and etiquette.SDGs area of this content

The CO2 Zero Travel Plan® is a plan that uses the J-Credit Scheme to offset (carbon offset) the CO2 emissions you make while traveling. By purchasing the value of green electricity, you can essentially reduce the CO2 emissions you make while traveling to zero. CO2 emissions are now a major global issue, as can be seen from the efforts toward the SDGs set by the United Nations. This program was born from the desire to "leave as much of the Earth as possible beautiful for our future children." In order to take concrete action against climate change... As a first step, why not start taking concrete action against "climate change" while traveling?SDGs area of this content

This time, the UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Office in Japan introduced the "LINK KYOTO" initiative in its "Sustainable Tourism Archives". The UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Office in Japan is called the "UN Tourism Regional Support Office for Asia and the Pacific" in English, and its common name in Japanese is the "World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan". The World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan was established in Japan in 1995 as the only regional office with the aim of promoting tourism in the Asia-Pacific region, where tourism is growing rapidly, and strengthening cooperation within the region. Currently based in Nara, the Tokyo office was also established at the United Nations University Headquarters (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) in 2017. The UN Tourism Office in Japan works with the UN Tourism Headquarters (Madrid, Spain) Asia-Pacific Division to encourage sustainable policies and practices to maximize the contribution of tourism promotion to socio-economy while minimizing the negative impacts. Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors in modern times. By providing information on tourism statistics and highlighting tourism success stories, tourism can be an effective development tool that benefits destinations, local people and global travelers. The Japan Office will help promote these efforts in the region.

In 2016, a corporate hometown tax payment system was launched. Initially, the spread was slow, but as the 2020 corporate tax deduction amount increased to a maximum of 90%, the number of companies using the program suddenly increased, and by 2022, donations amounting to 34.1 billion annually. It has expanded. It is a system that benefits both parties as it brings together local governments and companies and promotes regional revitalization. In this article, we will introduce the case of Kyotanba Town, Funai District, Kyoto Prefecture, which met a company through the corporate version of hometown tax and succeeded in promoting DX in its forestry industry.
