▶Kyoto dance performance by geisha and maiko
Kyomai (Kyoto Mai Dance) will be performed in the Inoue style by a geiko or maiko. A rare opportunity for visitors to see these graceful dance up close, allowing them to experience the permanent exhibit more intimately. Two Kyomai songs will be performed for a total of about 15 minutes.
▶Permanent Exhibition on Kagai Art Culture
An introduction to the world of geiko, maiko and their culture through a diverse range of exhibits, from exquisite hand-painted Yuzen kimono and Nishijin brocade obi sashes, to personal belongings and makeup used by maiko. Exhibits feature precious items such as kanzashi hair ornaments for each season and black crested formal kimono, which are rarely seen in the Gion quarter. Along with photographs conveying the unique atmosphere of the Kagai district, immerse yourself in this secretive yet glamorous world.-In the Kagai districts of Kyoto, women who perform traditional dance and music in ozashiki banquet rooms and on stage and entertain guests are referred to as geiko (and not geisha). Women training to become geiko are called maiko.

"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).

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
