UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization)
The English name of the UNWTO Japan office is the "UN Tourism Regional Support Office for Asia and the Pacific," and its common name in Japanese is the "World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan."
The World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Japan Office 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 Japan Office works in cooperation with the Asia-Pacific Division of the UN Tourism Headquarters (Madrid, Spain) to encourage sustainable policies and practices to maximize the contribution of tourism to socio-economy while minimizing the negative impacts of tourism promotion.
Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors of our time. 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 Representative Office will help promote these efforts in the region.

Inside Towaryokan, located near Nishi Honganji Temple, there is a tea room called Seikaan, which was named after the 16th head master of the Urasenke school. We have set up a gentle and fun tea party experience plan for a limited time, because we want everyone to have a gentle time experience in this quiet and tranquil space.
The tea ceremony has an image of being difficult to enter, but even beginners are welcome! Please feel free to join us! We will carefully guide you through the process while listening to explanations about etiquette when entering the tea room, viewing the beds and flowers, etc. Please relax and take photos while seated.
Although it is near Kyoto Station, which is busy, it is quiet and gentle...that's how time passes.
Please feel free to join us for a cultural experience in Kyoto.
*Information will be provided in Japanese.
Management: Towa Ryokan
