"Kagai" is a town where the culture of geisha and maiko who show heartfelt hospitality through their dancing and other traditional arts has been passed down for generations, and where Kyoto's traditional culture is carefully preserved. Kyoto's Kagai has flourished as a major center of hospitality culture.
In the Kagai district, geisha and maiko have the spring and autumn performances as their one goal, but they also spend their days training in dance and other performing arts, as well as studying traditional culture such as the tea ceremony. The kimonos and other attire that complement them are supported by the skills of many artisans, including traditional craft artisans, hairdressers, and kimono dressers. In addition to events unique to the Kagai district, such as the opening ceremony, they also inherit seasonal customs and continue to cherish and protect Kyoto's traditional culture by participating in traditional Kyoto events such as the Jidai Matsuri.
Let's experience traditional culture at this valuable museum located in the entertainment district of Gion Kobu.

"CO2Zero Travel®”This is a method to reduce CO2 emissions during travel using the J-Credit Scheme.2This is a plan to offset (carbon offset)
By purchasing the value of green electricity, you can reduce the CO2 emissions you make while traveling to virtually zero. CO2 emissions are now a major global issue, as can be seen from the efforts of the SDGs set by the United Nations. This program was born from the desire to "leave a beautiful Earth, even if only a little, for our future children." In order to concretely tackle climate change... As a first step, why not start taking concrete action against "climate change" while traveling?
"CO₂ Zero Travel®" is a registered trademark of JTB.

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.

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).

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
