▶Kyoto dance performance by geisha and maiko
Kyomai (Kyoto Mai Dance) will be performed in the Inoue style by a geiko or maiko. A rare opportunity for visitors to see these graceful dance up close, allowing them to experience the permanent exhibit more intimately. Two Kyomai songs will be performed for a total of about 15 minutes.
▶Permanent Exhibition on Kagai Art Culture
An introduction to the world of geiko, maiko and their culture through a diverse range of exhibits, from exquisite hand-painted Yuzen kimono and Nishijin brocade obi sashes, to personal belongings and makeup used by maiko. Exhibits feature precious items such as kanzashi hair ornaments for each season and black crested formal kimono, which are rarely seen in the Gion quarter. Along with photographs conveying the unique atmosphere of the Kagai district, immerse yourself in this secretive yet glamorous world.-In the Kagai districts of Kyoto, women who perform traditional dance and music in ozashiki banquet rooms and on stage and entertain guests are referred to as geiko (and not geisha). Women training to become geiko are called maiko.

In Kyoto City"Kyoto Carbon-Free Lifestyle Promotion Team - 2050 Kyoto Meeting"Under the working group, we are creating projects that connect the choices each individual makes in their daily lives to decarbonization.
"Project to make visible stores that offer vegetarian menus"has been working to introduce restaurants that serve vegan food, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of food by increasing the number of vegetarian options. As part of this effort, we will be holding a walking tour for the general public that includes a vegan food experience while enjoying a stroll around the city.Quoted from Kyoto City Information Center
About "Vegan Walking: Kyoto Sanjo-kai Shopping Street Edition"
We believe that veganism can be incorporated not only into a diet of plant-based foods, but also into fashion, daily necessities, and play that are made from plant-based products, and we will be running tours that allow you to experience vegan "clothing," "food," "housing," and "culture" (English language support available).

● We prioritize selecting accommodation facilities and adventure tourism companies that are working on or have received a certification related to sustainable tourism. We do not offer tours that may have adverse effects on nature, culture, or social environment.
● We work with guide interpreters and staff who are highly aware of SDGs. The main guide interpreters, tour conductors, and local staff undergo training in advance, making sure to know the important points on every tour destination such as sustainability principles of tourism in general, as well as etiquette when visiting special areas such as World Heritage sites, preservation districts, and national parks. A guide interpreter shares information on the natural environment, regional culture, and cultural heritage during the tour.
●We work on reducing the amount of tour-related pamphlets and paper consumption. We also use bio-based inks. When sending out pamphlets, we make sure to simplify the packaging.Sunrise Tour SDGs (English site)

In March 2023, we will introduce the efforts of local companies as part of the "Project to promote visualization of efforts contributing to sustainable tourism"“Sustainable Tourism KYOTO”has been issued.
We who love this town and the tourists who love this town.
Even if we have the same thoughts,
There is an invisible wall between residents and tourists.I made that wall
It may be the way of "journey" that we have provided so far.In the eternal history of over 1000 years,
In this town, people's wisdom and creativity intersect, culture develops, and the city flourishes.And now, there are people who have started to create new value for tourism by reviewing the “travel” of the past.
I would like to ask people living in Kyoto, working people, and everyone involved in tourism.
What can we do now for Kyoto to continue to be Kyoto?▶️open pdf
