Kyoto, the Ancient Capital, Woven with Brilliance and Cool Elegance: An Invitation from Spring to Summer
Spring in Kyoto is painted with a breathtaking carpet of cherry blossoms. The cherry-lined Philosopher's Path, the cherry blossom scenery of Arashiyama, and the sea of cherry blossoms viewed from Kiyomizu-dera. These stunning views, where the ancient capital's scenery intertwines with cherry blossoms, capture the hearts of visitors.
As the lingering breath of spring fades, the footsteps of summer approach, and Kyoto begins to reveal a different face. Amidst the humid heat, the Gion Festival engulfs the city in excitement, and the magnificent Yamahoko procession is a spectacular sight. Along the Kamogawa River, dining platforms (Noryo-yuka) are set up, where you can enjoy Kyoto cuisine while listening to the murmur of the river.
Furthermore, summer in Kyoto is when the temple gardens are at their most beautiful. Moss-covered gardens, verdant bamboo groves, and the cool dining platforms of Kifune. You can relish the refreshing air while seated above the river, enjoying the sounds of the stream and the lush natural scenery.
The brilliant cherry blossoms of spring and the heated excitement and cool elegance of summer. Both are indispensable in conveying the charm of the ancient capital, Kyoto. We invite you to visit Kyoto, which displays a different expression with each passing season.

Black lives matter is now a movement around the world, mainly in the United States. It shouldn't be considered a "fire on the other side of the river"(Japanese way of saying "none of our business"). However, I also feel that it hasn't quite hit people living in Japan because there are fewer inspirations or triggers that made us take action. But we can start thinking about what we can do and improving the world to be a better place. This is a map that depicts 1.3km from Nijo St. to Shijo St. in the Kamogawa river area in Kyoto. On the Westside, I wrote the lyrics for The Beatles "Blackbird." On the Eastside, I wrote the full speech of "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King Jr. that was given on the steps of Lincoln Memorial in 1963. You will find the song and the audio of the speech in the Pins. During the process of making this map, I measured the distance of the length where the march took place, which is from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, to apply the same range to Kyoto. By walking through this section using the map, you can experience how people felt during the march 57 years ago. Paul MacCartney stated that the "Blackbird" of the Beatles was made for black women simultaneously (in 1968). Let's take our time, feel March on Washington, and think about the movement that is happening now. I hope Kyoto will continue to be a place where diverse values, cultures, and races meet forever.

AMIDAKUJI, also known as Ghost Legs, is a game kids play and a method of creating random pairings. I arranged it and made a Kyoto Amidakuji map using the streets. Pick one lane and follow it until you reach out at the end. If you find a diamond-shaped Pin, you are lucky! What item will you find?! *This map usually works as the city's playlist map Ver.2. *My recommended songs are in the Pins. I will change the songs regularly with a wide range of my selections from local to the widely known songs. 
- I added songs on 5/1

Under the influence of Covid-19, the clubs and live music venues that support the music scene in Kyoto and Japan are in danger of survival. And bars and restaurants, which attract a similarly diverse group of people, are also in danger of survival.

When the Covid-19 converges and people are free to travel, I don't want to be in Kyoto where there are only chain stores left.

On this map, you can see what each store is doing. It would be great if you could provide even a small amount of support.
Of course, spreading the word about this map is part of the support. Please lend a helping hand.
