Celebrating 30 Years of KYOTO VISITOR'S GUIDE
The New Step for the decades to come

July 2016 marks the celebratory 30th anniversary since the KYOTO VISITOR'S GUIDE (KVG) was first published. KVG was created by AD BRAIN Inc. as a way to promote Kyoto as an international destination for tourists and international conference participants.

Compared to the city's almost eternal history over 1200 years as Japan's national capital, 30 years is only a short period of time. However, as a pioneer of a monthly English publication which has consistently provided useful, meaningful and interesting information for overseas tourists in Japan, we are proud to commemorate our 30th anniversary with you.

We will continue to work hard to make KVG an excellent combination of essential and practical information, and make it an even more interesting and memorable magazine for visitors from around the world. Thank you very much for your continued support and cooperation.

Thank you for your interest in Kyoto and the Kyoto Visitor's Guide.
