Kyoto City introduces “Tech Tour KYOTO” to facilitate business networking through curated visits and startup interactions. This tour helps you understand the tech and business landscape in Kyoto.

Tour Concept: 
Kyoto City is arranging tailored tours, which include various opportunities to visit and interact with the local ecosystem. Tours can be arranged to fit a variety of needs from general business interests (i.e., “To learn about Kyoto Tech companies” or “To learn about cutting-edge technologies”) to specific business needs (i.e., “To find joint research partners” or “To find specific product suppliers”). Tours are generally for 10-20 participants per group and last anywhere from a half-day to a full day. The tech tour office does not handle inquiries to provide arrangements for meals or sightseeing facilities, overnight lodging, etc.

Based on the following five courses, the tech tour office crafts custom-designed tours to address individual business needs.

1. Company Tour Courses
