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).

Donations to local government projects can lead to the achievement of SDGs and regional development, and can be used to promote your company as a company that has contributed to society. In addition, some local government projects make use of local resources, and if connections are found, it can be an opportunity to develop new businesses. Approximately 60% of donations to local government projects can be deducted from corporate taxes. Combined with the reduction effect of deductible expenses, you can expect a tax deduction of up to 90%. Please consider this for your company as well. (The photograph is an image)

Lake Biwa Canal Boat ~Spring 2024~
The great achievements of the Meiji era were achieved by connecting the thoughts of our predecessors.
Kyoto rapidly declined after the Meiji Restoration due to the de facto transfer of the capital to Tokyo. The key to its revival was the construction of the Lake Biwa Canal. This unprecedentedly large project, which cost approximately twice the annual budget of Kyoto Prefecture at the time, was completed in 23 with the help of Japanese people alone, without relying on foreign engineers. Please enjoy the scenery of this Japan Heritage site, which is still loved even after about 1890 years.
In the spring of 2024, we will extend the route to Lake Biwa and Otsu Port and begin operations!
Why not enjoy sightseeing around Lake Biwa and passing through Otsu Lock, as well as enjoy the colorful cherry blossom trees and fresh greenery along the waterway?
《Points that can only be seen by those on board》
・Among the plaques written by politicians who represent the Meiji period that are displayed at the entrance of each tunnel, the only one inside the tunnel is Kunimichi Kitagaki, the third governor of Kyoto who planned and constructed the canal project. It's a flat forehead.・Passengers on board can see the pit, which was the first in Japan to use the pit method, from below.
"customer's voice"
-The guide's explanation was easy to understand.
・Even though it's local, I didn't know it.
・Moved by the achievements of our predecessors. The tunnel is also worth seeing.

You can try making your own ``one-of-a-kind flower hairpin''!
Even small pieces of cloth that would otherwise be thrown away are cherished and used with care.
I want to spread the spirit of tsumamizaiku, so I don't just teach techniques, but I focus on the experience of ``finishing a piece of work''.
The thrill of seeing a small piece of cloth that would otherwise have been thrown away become a wonderful accessory, and the joy of playing with colors will soothe your mind and forget the time.
Please take a look at how much you can bring out the personality of the cloth that changes by pinching it, and how it transforms into a chance encounter and a single flower petal.*The experience is for 2 or more people.
*Please make a reservation in advance.LINK KYOTOsustainablehistoryexperienceKyotogenuinetraditional cultureSDGs

● 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)
