The 2024 Horizon Kyoto International Art Exhibition will once again usher in a new exhibition presentation idea and method, "Horizons", the boundary that the eyes can reach but can never reach.

It’s almost the 2024 Maple Festival! The famous NAKED team will launch the "NAKED GARDEN ONE KYOTO 2024" event in Kyoto from September 14 (Sat) to December 8 (Sun) 2024. At that time, 8 popular attractions such as Nijo Castle and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine will be transformed into a romantic kingdom of red maple leaves. The large-scale autumn event "NAKED GARDEN ONE KYOTO 2024" jointly led by Kyoto Prefecture and the NAKED team will officially start on September 14, 2024 (Sat)! Kyoto, which is always full of historical and cultural atmosphere on weekdays, will be transformed into a huge fantasy maple leaf kingdom under the skillful hands of NAKED. Kyoto's representative tourist attractions such as the World Heritage Nijo Castle and Ninnaji Temple will each present light and shadow performances with different themes, allowing travelers to experience the romantic Japanese atmosphere and brilliant scenery even if they come to Kyoto in advance before the maple leaves turn red! In addition to NAKED light sculpture technology, various activity attractions in 2024 have also prepared diversified themes, such as Nijo Castle for "Japanese food", Nishi Honganji for "Gagaku", Higashi Honganji for "Noh, flower arrangement and Kyoto cuisine", and Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei for "Japanese candles". NIDEC Kyoto Tower will light up with maple red lights to match the theme color during the event.

In 2020, the Arashiyama Fireworks Festival was held for the first time in 44 years. At that time, it was a difficult period of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and in the hope of "I hope everyone will show their heads a little", the event started with a quiet fireworks display. "I pray for the end of this epidemic around the world." This year is the 5th time, and for the first time, a private viewing platform has been prepared where you can enjoy not only the fireworks but also the night view of Arashiyama, as well as a special viewing area where you can enjoy live music and a beer garden.
