*We will provide information in 6 languages, and we will also continue to provide some information in a total of 13 languages (the above 6 languages, plus German, Italian, Thai, Turkish, Arabic, Malay, and Russian).
Key Points of This Renewal
(1) New Articles in Various Categories
One of the charms of Kyoto is its fusion of tradition and innovation. Modern Kyoto has created all-new meaning, culture, and artforms based on its ancient history, traditions, nature, and scenery.
At the beginning of this project, we conducted interviews with foreign visitors regarding their interest in culture and the arts and analyzed the results. We also received advice from foreign journalists living in Kyoto.
With this release, we will offer new content categories, such as "Street Guide," in which local citizens introduce the charms of Kyoto; "People in Kyoto City," which introduces the artisans who make Kyoto crafts, and much more.
(2) Media Partners
We will start to collaborate with media partners publishing articles about Kyoto City tourism that have an understanding of the culture, historical background, and life, etc. in Kyoto.
With this coraboration, we could offer more various information.
These are pioneering new projects for our official site, and collaborations that we, as one of Japan’s foremost DMOs (Destination Management Organizations), hope will support local businesses, and strengthen our ability to aid their work via management of tourism in the area.
(3) Customized Top Page for Visitors in Different Stages of Travel
We have customized the top page of the site to show different content, according to our visitors’ travel status: whether they are in the planning or travelling stage.
