There is no city in the world like Kyoto. Ancient and modern, traditional and hip. Everyone who comes finds something they have never experienced anywhere else.

We have received the below comments from organizers of meetings and events in Kyoto.

Everyone had a wonderful time. Reports about Kyoto were favorable and many participants said that wanted the conference to be held in Kyoto again.
The city of Kyoto was very popular as a city of World Cultural Heritage. I think Kyoto clearly surpasses other cities in this regard.
I feel that the reason over 500 people gathered (more than the meeting's yearly average) was because the city was Kyoto.
There are many tourist spots clustered within the city making it easy to go sightseeing and then quickly return to the meeting venue.
It was great that we were able to call in Geisha that we normally wouldn't have even been able to get in contact with
I acutely felt the convenience of the area around Kyoto Station. It's very easy for people to gather from around Japan. The meeting was fairly long at 1 week in length, but people from the Kinki region were able to come on day-trips without spending the night, and some people could return to their university or office during the meeting.
Kyoto Convention & Visitors Bureau told us a lot about meeting venues, accommodations, reception venues, excursion options, etc., and they really knew what they were talking about. They also introduced a good PCO to us.
The Bureau really helped us. We received various valuable information from them.
The tools including the DVDs, Power-points, etc. that we received from the Kyoto Convention & Visitors Bureau were extremely useful.
Everyone said, 'let's meet in Kyoto again next year!' before leaving.
Over 90% of participants of Kyoto meetings and events have replied, “I want to come back.”
