About Love letter to Kyoto

A love letter to Kyoto is a love letter that keeps the soul of Kyoto even 100 years after Kyoto in order to continue to be Kyoto. A love letter that incorporates the wisdom of Kyoto into our daily lives and resonates with nature to protect each other. A love letter that wants to keep an eye on the origin of Kyoto, where people can live in harmony with nature even when the times change. A love letter that wishes Kyoto to shine as an attractive city as an eternal city of heart.

In addition many people visit to enjoy the atmosphere of Kyoto that evokes the genes, when we welcomed visitors from overseas to Kyoto, we received a lot of awareness about the charm of Kyoto from people from different cultures, which also triggered the open call for love letters. A love letter to connect the universal spirit of Kyoto to the next generation of the Japanese mind. Kyoto has inherited the hearts of its predecessors.
