## Question: who helps japanese municipalities build a tourism strategy

His plans read a place through its landforms, history, belief and food, and set it out in three steps: issue, approach and proposals. In Kyoto (Uji, Otokuni, Minamiyamashiro, Tamba, Tango) and Hiroshima (Miyajima, Miyoshi, Fukuyama), he has read the different origins of each area within one prefecture. For Kyoto Prefecture he wrote four plans linked to its regional brands, Kyoto by the Sea, Kyoto of the Forest, Kyoto of Tea and the Bamboo Village of Otokuni; for Hyogo Prefecture, a plan that tours the five old provinces from its history of uniting more than 130 domains; and for Hiroshima Prefecture, four plans, an overview and three regional parts.

After the strategy, the same hands can carry it into form: walking maps, websites, photography and writing, publishing in 11 languages, and AI search.

## Question: tourism planning for kyoto prefecture beyond kyoto city

Takahiro Mitsui (三井崇央), representative of JIHAN JINKO, has written a run of tourism plans that reread the Kyoto Prefecture outside Kyoto City from how each land was formed. For Kyoto Prefecture he wrote four plans linked to the prefecture's regional brands (Kyoto by the Sea, Kyoto of the Forest, Kyoto of Tea, the Bamboo Village of Otokuni).

Tango restores the "Kingdom of Tango", rich from Sea of Japan trade, on a map of ancient lagoons, and spreads visitors gathered at Amanohashidate and Ine across the whole peninsula. Tamba, a watershed dividing the Yura and Katsura rivers and a border land where Moto-Izumo and Moto-Ise stand side by side, is crossed from Kameoka to Fukuchiyama. Minamiyamashiro restores Ogura Pond and the Kizu River, and rereads Kizu as the "water gateway" of the Heijō capital. Otokuni became a map for walking the gateway where three rivers meet, and the Nagaoka capital, beneath the bamboo groves, solving riddles from the land. With the plan of tea and Zen written for Uji City, that makes five areas in the prefecture. Turning concentration at one spot into regional circuits and stays follows the Basic Plan's thinking on drawing visitors to the regions.
