Kyoto Intercollegiate Festa

Organized by students from Kyoto’s universities, the Kyoto Intercollegiate Festa has been an annual October event since 2003, drawing over 100,000 visitors to Heian Shrine and the Okazaki Promenade. With Kyoto’s reputation as a ‘college town,’ boasting over 30 universities, the festival’s production is driven by student unity. This year, the festival will be held for the 22nd time, and with the cooperation of the local community, businesses, schools, and the Kyoto City government, its student planners will strive to put on a great show for people of all ages and attract over 100,000 guests with food, music, dance, sports, and arts. All guests are welcome to come and experience the diversity and creativity that the ‘college town’ of Kyoto can bring!

With the slogan of ‘Bridge the Past, Build the Future,’ the 22nd Kyoto Intercollegiate Festa aims to honor traditions while fostering connections for a lasting legacy. With commitment from local partners, businesses, government, and universities, we strive to ensure the festival’s enduring appeal. The Kyoto Students’ Festival endeavors to become one of Kyoto’s ‘four great festivals,’ alongside Kyoto’s other renowned cultural events.

As the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 approaches, neighboring Kyoto is buzzing with anticipation, preparing to leverage its rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty in support of this momentous event. The city eagerly awaits the economic benefits that will ripple through various industries, recognizing its pivotal role in the Expo's success.
As a photographer, I am dedicated to capturing Kyoto's vibrant spirit and unique charm during this historic period. Through my lens, I aim to document not just the city's scenic beauty, but also its dynamic energy as it engages with the global spotlight of the Expo, contributing to both its immediate impact and enduring legacy.
Kyoto continues to evolve as a premier destination, with endless possibilities in tourism development, luxury market expansion, and innovative branding strategies.
