Kyoto is one of the foremost destinations in the world for travelers.
However most visitors who come to Kyoto City are completely unaware of the vast beauty within Kyoto as a prefecture.
As a result most of the greatest destinations in Kyoto are unvisited.
We think that if visitors were to become more aware of those little known areas within Kyoto, it would lead to a revitalization within those areas.

ここ京都は世界トップクラスの観光都市です。
毎年、日本人だけでなく、海外からも多くの旅行客が訪れています。
しかしほとんどの観光客は京都市内だけに滞在し、京都府の他の地域へ足を運ばないのが現状です。
そんな中、我々は京都市内の観光だけではなく、京都府全体の観光を提案することで、観光という面での地域格差が改善し、地域の活性化にも繋がるのではないかと考えています。

Travelers from all over the world come to Kyoto City every year for a good reason. Kyoto City is huge and full of historical sites, great restaurants, and tons to do. It's worth visiting at least once in your life.

The Tango region is located along the Sea of Japan, at the most northern area of Kyoto Prefecture, which is about two hours by car from Kyoto City.
