In 2022, The Kyoto City Tourism Association launched "Inbound Innovation Kyoto” initiative to support businesses striving to develop new content aimed at the inbound tourism market and to partner with them in the commercialization of their products. A number of the companies were chosen by the initiative for their quality and drive to help in building a more sustainable Kyoto. Each of them offers original and private tours that provide activities which have the potential to become once-in-a-lifetime experiences for their participants.

We have recently included two new examples to our list of chosen businesses. They are the dry-raking experience led by a traditional garden landscape company - Sone Zoen, as well as traditional culture experiences with maiko and geisha organized by Chourakukan, a unique hotel with 100 years of history. 

You can read more about them, as well as about the other members of "Inbound Innovation Kyoto" in the following article:
