Kyoto Guidelines for BUSINESS

~For the sustainable growth of your business together with the local community~

 

Together with those working in Kyoto’s tourism industry, the citizens who live here, and the visitors who come to explore the city, let us share a common purpose and build a future-oriented model of tourism that will be passed on to generations to come.

What We Hope to Value Together with Businesses

Harmony Between Local Life and Tourism

High-Quality Services

Inspire visitors and encourage them to return to Kyoto by deepening your understanding of Kyoto’s history, culture, and traditions. At the same time, respect and understand the diverse cultural backgrounds and lifestyles of your guests, and enhance the quality of your services and products with a spirit of heartfelt hospitality.
