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.

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. Source: Official website (https://unwto-ap.org/office/)

The CO2 Zero Travel Plan® is a plan that uses the J-Credit Scheme to offset (carbon offset) the CO2 emissions you make while traveling. By purchasing the value of green electricity, you can essentially reduce the CO2 emissions you make while traveling to zero. CO2 emissions are now a major global issue, as can be seen from the efforts toward the SDGs set by the United Nations. This program was born from the desire to "leave as much of the Earth as possible beautiful for our future children." In order to take concrete action against climate change... As a first step, why not start taking concrete action against "climate change" while traveling?

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."

The Shimogamo Shrine Tadasu Noh Preservation Society will hold the 9th Tadasu Noh on Saturday, May 25, 2024 at the Tadasu no Mori of Kamo Mizu Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine), a world cultural heritage site. "Tadasu-no-no" refers to the "Tadasu-gawara Kanjin Sarugaku" that was held in front of famous feudal lords including Shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga in 1464, about 550 years ago. It was rebuilt for the first time in 550 years during the 34th Shikinen Sengu of Kamo Mizu Shrine (2015). It is an outdoor Noh performance set in the Maiden (Important Cultural Property) of Kamo Goso Shrine.In 2019, it was changed to "Tadasu Noh" as the afterglow of the Kamo Festival (Aoi Festival) to commemorate the Grand Encyclopedia of Reiwa, and is held every year. We have been holding this event. At Kamo Mizu Shrine, the Sengu began 2100 years ago, and the Saigyo Sengu will be the 60th in 2036. Furthermore, in accordance with Emperor Goichijo's proclamation, the system of Sengu was established every 20 years, and the first one was held on April 13, 1036. It will be a special festival of the year. Looking back on the 1,000-year relationship between gods and humans, and wanting to reexamine the relationship between nature and culture, this year, in preparation for the 1000-year milestone, we will perform the Noh play ``Aoiue Azunode Sora no Prayer.'' , we will be performing the Kyogen play ``Enmeibukuro.''
