Kyoto Convention Bureau
Kyoto Convention Bureau is the official partnership for international tourism representation of the City of Kyoto, Japan. Kyoto’s diverse history and reputation as Japan’s original capital and cultural centre provide a wealth of opportunities for tour operators and travel agents. The city is home to the Imperial Palace whilst also being the only place where ‘real’ geishas can still be seen, its old temples and Zen gardens interspersed with urban living means that Kyoto is a striking contrast of heritage and modern city. Its location just 25 minutes from Osaka and 2hrs 15 minutes from Tokyo, make it easily accessible from Japan’s two main international gateways.
