The Kansai Tourist Information Center Kyoto has opened in June 2015 exclusively for foreign tourists.
It offers a range of services to meet the needs of people from overseas to Japan, and provides good quality of assistance for making more pleasant and memorable trip. Based on the concept of "a showcase for Kansai," we're hoping it will become a central source for information on the attractions and culture of the various areas in Kyoto and the Kansai region, as well as the latest trends, recommended products and Japanese culture.
