Sightseeing

Familiar images of Japan come to life in Kyoto. The city limits contain opportunities to experience leading modern technology and architecture, neon lights and deafening gaming parlours, graceful geisha and serene Buddha, a formidable castle and secluded temples, and even lush green rice paddies. There is a great deal to see and experience in this city during free time in the business schedule and for accompanying persons who want to venture off site. Each season brings festival and event highlights that date back to the foundation of Kyoto in the eighth century. Kyoto Convention Bureau is not a tourist information centre therefore this site cannot provide a full sightseeing guide to Kyoto. Instead please refer to the excellent information provided by partner organisations listed below.
