The usual Kyoto sightseeing + hot springs, a trip to heal your mind and body.
Kyoto, whose culture was originally rooted in a land rich in nature, has many hot springs and a variety of spring qualities. Kyoto's hot springs healed the fatigue of many of our ancestors. In addition to enjoying walking around the town, how about a trip where you can feel the ``attractiveness of the hot springs''? Enjoy hot springs more easily.

You can experience a "hot spring tour" of up to 3 of the 9 hot spring facilities in Kyoto City.
(There are a total of 5 types of tickets: 1 hot spring bathing ticket that allows you to choose 3 of the 6 free facilities, and 4 tickets that include a hot spring bath plus a cafe or lunch.)
Even if you don't know how to enter a hot spring, it is okay! At the reception desk at the facility, you will receive an original hand towelwith an illustration of onsen bathing etiquette. Please visit Kyoto's hot springs to heal your body after a long day of sightseeing.

● 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
