Cold evenings and mornings means we are fully into autumn now in Japan. But there are still beautiful natural sights to see all around Kyoto.

Through next week, the “Autumn Rose Festival” is being held at the Ayabe Rose Garden. Just like spring, autumn is a perfect time to see roses. Autumn roses are characterized by their deep vivid flower colors and rich fragrances. On the other hand, spring roses have more gentle colors and fragrances. Now is a great time to go and see the difference for yourself.

In addition, Ayabe Gunze Square, home to the rose garden, has many other flowers still in bloom you won't want to miss.

03/10/2023

Hello everyone! The second in our series of interviews with local tourism associations is Muko City! What makes Muko City a unique place in western Japan? Keep reading to find out!

Q1
What makes Muko City a great place to visit?
A1
Muko City has an area of approximately 7.72 square kilometers, making it the smallest city in western Japan and the third smallest city in all of Japan. However, The bamboo forest in the northwestern part of the city is famous across Japan for some of the best bamboo for a wide range of uses.

Q2
What spots do you recommend?
A2
In the bamboo forest, there is a bamboo forest road called the “Bamboo Path” that is about 2 kilometers long. The bamboo path is lined with eight types of bamboo fences made from Moso bamboo, a specialty product, including the famous "Takehogaki" made of bundled bamboo branches. We say it's a great place to take a “Bamboo bath,” completely surrounding yourself with bamboo.

Q3
What are some projects you are working on now?
A3
We are preparing for the illumination event "Take no Michi Kaguya no Yube" held every October along the Bamboo Path and collaboration events centered on the Kyoto Nishiyama area such as a photo contest project targeting the area. We are also doing lots of PR of sightseeing spots and event information in Muko City to make it easier to learn about and plan your visit.

Q4
What projects would like to focus on in the future and want people to know about.
A4
We want to get the word out about our city to more people about all the things Muko has to offer such as the Bamboo Path. We also hope to strengthen cooperation with neighboring cities and towns and do more events.

Reference links ☞
Muko City Tourism Association HP https://www.muko-kankou.jp/,

*Japanese only.

So what do you think? Why not immerse yourself in bamboo on your next visit to Kyoto prefecture?

Notes -
The illumination event "Take no Michi Kaguya no Yube" will be held on October 21st and 22nd this year. Walk along Bamboo Path at night, listening to bamboo grass swaying in the wind. Bamboo lanterns (or andon) illuminate the path and bamboo forest with the warm candle light, transporting you to a fantastical world. It's sure to make great photos!

In addition, the Kyoto Otokuni Bamboo Grove area specialty bamboo shoots are carefully cultivated throughout the year and are said to be characterized by their vibrant white color, softness, and rich flavor. There are some that can even be eaten raw.

Hello everyone! Next up in our series of interviews with local tourism associations is
Nagaokakyo City.

Nagaokakyo is home to many photo-worthy spots, such as the rhododendrons at Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine, the flower Chōzuya at Yanagidani Kannon Yokokuji Temple, and castle ruins associated with great Japanese figures.

Q1
What do you think makes Nagaokakyo a great place to visit?
A1
Nagaokakyo City is located about halfway between Kyoto City and Osaka City. This makes it convenient to visit with lots of transportation links such as railways and expressways.
Additionally, Nagaokakyo is famous for high quality bamboo shoots which means you can enjoy a wide variety of foods, from authentic kaiseki cuisine (traditional multi-course Japanese cuisine) to Japanese sweets.

Q2
What spots do you recommend?
A2
Shoryuji Castle is said to be where Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama (later known as Hosokawa Gracia) spent her newlywed life, and where Mitsuhide spent his final night after losing the Battle of Yamazaki. Currently, it is maintained as a park and is popular as a great example of the Sengoku era and as a forerunner of modern castles.

Q3
What are some projects the association is currently working on?
A3
We are working hard disseminating information using SNS, participating in business meetings with travel agencies, and operating tourist information centers (3 locations in the city) to make it easy to learn about and visit the city. We are also holding various events and even developing new souvenirs that you will not want to miss.

Q4
What are some future plans you have for the area?
A4
We want to further develop an appreciation of the Kyoto Otokuni Bamboo Grove area, which is full of beautiful scenery and historical romance. We have created a reception system through collaboration between business operators with an eye toward attracting tourism to the area and encouraging people to get out into nature. We would also like to focus on disseminating information as effectively as possible to people all over the world.

Reference links ☞ Nagaokakyo City Tourism Association homepage: http://nagaokakyo-kankou.jp/eng/, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nagaokakyo_tourism/

So what do you think? Nagaokakyo is a fascinating place close to Kyoto City. Why not visit it during your next trip?

Notes -
Shoryuji Castle was a state-of-the-art castle at the time it was built. With tiles, stone walls, and a keep, it is a must-see not only for history buffs but also for architecture and castle lovers.

Hosokawa Gracia is famous for being the wife of Tadaoki Hosokawa who was a famous general during the unification of Japan. She also is famous for converting to Christianity and refusing to commit su***de as expected due to her christian faith. Every November, the Nagaokakyo Gracia Festival is held, which recreates her wedding procession where you can enjoy the wedding costumes of the time.

Hello Everyone!

To help you learn more about different areas in Kyoto prefecture, "Kyoto Tourism" is doing a series of interviews with local tourism associations. The first one is the Uji City Tourism Association, located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture! Uji city is a fascinating place which will be featured in next year's NHK historical TV drama and will host some exciting upcoming events.

Q1
What is great about Uji?
A1
Uji City is a beautiful city with scenic landscapes centered around the Uji River. It is also home to a rich history and traditional culture, including the world heritage sites Byodo-in and Ujigami Shrine. It is also famous as the production area of , which is synonymous with high-quality tea.

Q2
What spots do you recommend?
A2
I definitely recommend authentic "Uji tea." At the Uji City tea room "Taihoan," you can enjoy authentic Uji tea along with seasonal sweets. I also recommend the and Uji History Park, where you can learn about the culture and history of Uji tea. Dishes using matcha and cute sweets are also must-sees.

Q3
What are some upcoming events you are working on?
A3
The traditional summer "Uji River Cormorant Fishing" event will be held until September 30th. In autumn, there will be “Umiu-no-Utti,” a cormorant fishing event with artificially raised cormorant and the Uji Tea Festival, which prays for the prosperity of Uji tea. There will also be tours and a stamp rally of places related to The Tale of Genji.

Q4
Are there any events next year that you would like people to know about?
A4
The main character of the 2024 is , the author of The Tale of Genji. I hope that the release of the TV drama will be an opportunity for people to learn more about the culture that has been inherited in Uji. At the Tale of Genji Museum in Uji City, you can enjoy the world of the story through videos and exhibits.

So what do you think? We hope you enjoyed hearing from locals on what to do when visiting their city.

Reference link ☞https://www.kyoto-uji-kankou.or.jp/tourism-en.html

Notes:

“Taihoan,” the name of the tea room mentioned in A2, gets its name from Byodoin’s Phoenix Hall, which is on the 10-yen coin.

At “Chazuna,” part of the Tea and Uji Town Historical Park, you can try your hand at various tea making experiences such as roasting or grinding green tea. It also activities related to local goods and a museum of Uji history. This makes “Chazuna” the perfect starting point for any visit to the Uji area. You can also visit the free observation terrace on the 2nd floor which offers a panoramic view of Uji.
