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).
