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

In Kyoto City, under the working group of the "Kyoto Carbon-Free Lifestyle Promotion Team - 2050 Kyoto Meeting", a project has been created to connect the choices of each individual in their lives to carbon-free living. The "Project to Make Vegetarian Restaurants Visible" has been working to introduce restaurants that offer vegan options, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of food by increasing the number of vegetarian options. As part of this project, a walking tour that includes a vegan food experience will be held for the general public to enjoy walking around the city.

Gokokuin is a proof of visit (memorial of visiting a demonic spot) given at shrines and temples associated with demonic spots such as ghosts, monsters, and sorcery. In this second project, we have created two types of Gokokuin with designs of Rokudo-Chinko-ji Temple, located at Rokudo-no-Tsuji, famous as the entrance to the underworld, and Minatoya Ghost Child-raising Candy's Ghost Child-raising Candy, as well as a Gokokuin walking map that will be useful for sightseeing around the area. At Rokudo-Chinko-ji Temple, there is a "Meido-Tsui no Ido" (well for passing through the underworld), where Ono no Takamura, who is said to have traveled between this world and the other, is said to have traveled between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and is said to have been a strange legend that he served the Imperial Court during the day and the Enma-cho (Enma-cho) as an official of King Enma's palace. Ghost Child-raising Candy Honpo is the oldest candy store in Japan, with over 450 years of history, and sells Ghost Child-raising Candy, known as the candy that connects "life."Night Sightseeingshrines and templesMakai spotGokokuinKyoto experienceLINK KYOTOKyoto sustainable tourismshrinetempleKyoto sightseeingKyotoKyoto culture

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.

In 2016, a corporate hometown tax payment system was launched. Initially, the spread was slow, but as the 2020 corporate tax deduction amount increased to a maximum of 90%, the number of companies using the program suddenly increased, and by 2022, donations amounting to 34.1 billion annually. It has expanded. It is a system that benefits both parties as it brings together local governments and companies and promotes regional revitalization. In this article, we will introduce the case of Kyotanba Town, Funai District, Kyoto Prefecture, which met a company through the corporate version of hometown tax and succeeded in promoting DX in its forestry industry.

``Lake Biwa Canal Boat'' A great achievement of the Meiji era that was 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 1890 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 70 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?Link KyotoLake Biwa canal boatcanalscenicLINK KYOTOautumn leavessustainableKyoto sightseeing
