Home to countless awe-inspiring temples and shrines, Kyoto is a must-visit destination in Japan. However, the ancient capital has a lot more to offer beyond the typical tourist sights. With the Into the Bright Kyoto forum, you’ll be able to rediscover Japan’s cultural roots through the philosophy of kanyo, or the spirit of tolerance, forbearance and generosity.

The programme consists of two parts: a forum in Kyoto featuring an international line-up of business leaders as well as an optional cultural tour through the Hokuriku region, which includes visiting Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture. With the former, you’ll be introduced to a new side of Kyoto with a focus on history, culture and art. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect with Into the Bright Kyoto.
