ASIA – Kyoto has opened its third most popular tourist attraction, Nijo Castle, for meetings events through official destination management company The J Team.
The venue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be available for gala dinners, drinks receptions and parties.
“Kyoto is home to more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other city in the world,” says Kyoto Convention Bureau’s International Marketing Co-ordinator James Widgren. “We are lucky that so many of these historic venues are willing to open their doors to the meetings and events industry, allowing business visitors from around the world to enjoy their unique offering.
“Nijo Castle is a truly unusual space, it will allow organisers to think creatively as they develop events following the castle’s opening later this year,” he adds.
Nijo Castle was built in 1602 and was used by a succession of military leaders.
