Connecting the world and Kyoto through the art of photography
KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival 2025 is Japan's leading international photography art festival, which will be held from Saturday, April 12th to Sunday, May 11th, 2025 in Kyoto, a city steeped in history and tradition.
This year, a diverse range of artists from around the world will gather to share their diverse perspectives and stories through photography.
Theme for 2025: "HUMANITY"
We will explore "HUMANITY" from both Japanese and Western cultural perspectives, focusing on the essence of who we are as humans, such as love, empathy, and the ability to overcome crises.
Fourteen artists and groups from ten countries will participate, and through each exhibition they will question our individual existence and highlight the possibilities for connection and harmony with others.
Historical architecture unique to Kyoto × contemporary photography
The exhibition will take place in venues that are normally closed to the public and spaces of great cultural value, such as townhouses, temples, sake breweries, and modern architecture in Kyoto City.
The unique spatial experience-based photography exhibition, born from the resonance between the artwork and the architecture, is a charm unique to KYOTOGRAPHIE.
An art festival that brings photography closer to everyone and that everyone can enjoy
During the event, there will not only be a photo exhibition, but also a wide range of experiential events such as artist talks, workshops, and programs for kids.
Additionally, the open exhibition "KG+," known as a stepping stone for young photographers, will feature over 150 exhibitions scheduled to be held in various locations throughout Kyoto City.
Experience "Connecting the World through Photography" in Kyoto
A moving spring arts festival where people and cultures intersect through photography.
As you encounter works that connect history and the future, and the individual and society, you will be prompted to reconsider the question, "How should we live?"

一直在路上的猫

One of Kyoto&#39;s oldest shrines, the main god of harvest, business boom, family security, the shrine behind thousands of scarlet bird dwellings stretching to the top of the mountain, is a representative landscape of Kyoto. When I came, at about 1 noon, there were a lot of tourists. There were many shops at the door that could change clothes in kimonos. There were a lot of kimonos for younger brothers and sisters. There were not many cherry blossoms in mid-April. Thousand Birds ⛩️ In fact, it is better to take pictures with fewer people walking inside. If you just simply stroll down quickly, there is a mountain to climb up behind, and the mountain overlooks the panoramic view of Kyoto.

Arashiyama

Mountain climbing

Located in the northwest of Kyoto City, the eastern edge of Danbo Heights, it is known as &quot;Kyoto&#39;s first victory&quot;. Inside: Yuye Bamboo Forest, Duyue Bridge, Lushan Park (composed of Guishan, Nakanoshima, Linchuan Temple, there are red pine, cherry blossom trees, maple trees, etc., as well as squares, resting places, observation deck and other facilities.), Tianlong Temple, Nomiya Shrine and other shrines. There is also Iwatashan Monkey Park. The Ping An era is an aristocratic resort, the Edo era has become a temple and shrine center, and the Meiji Renovation has gradually become a tourist attraction. ◦ You can take the Sapporo sightseeing train: drive along the Baojinchuan River Valley, the whole journey is 7.3 kilometers, about 25 minutes a way, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons. ◦ Baojinchuan rafting cruise: You can experience it in Guigang, cross the Qingshan Canyon to the Duyue Bridge, the fare is 4,100 yen for adults. I actually felt good after a tour, especially compared with the famous Sichuan Mountain of the motherland. The scenery is more exquisite and there is nothing special.

Best Things to Do

学校🏫

Gion: Geisha Phantom and Capital Meat Mill, Kyoto&#39;s most dangerous Ukashi painting Worth going? If it is a dark fairy tale for anatomizing Japanese aesthetics, it is worth it! But under the slabs of every flower see the path, there is a tourist IQ tax this is the Disneyland of Geisha culture, and you are a humanoid cash machine. Hardcore truth: blood on the strings of three flavors and gold chemical warfare on the neck of prostitutes: white powder is not the legendary &quot;swan neck&quot;, but the scar of fire cotton rubber burning - traditional geisha needs glue to stretch the straight neck. The flower season girl kneels before sitting in the mirror at 3 am, scraping the skin texture with a brush bone knife, just for the first glimpse of0.5 seconds in your lens at dusk. The atonement coupon system of Yili Tea House: ￥300,000/night private banquet behind the curtain, not drinking wine but class sacrifice. But when the tatami black grid was opened, the contract signed by the Meiji female traveler slept with the credit card bill this morning. The 100-year exploitation never evolved, only changed the payment method. The physical scam of the Yaota Shadow: The net red photographer will not say: the best seat is on the top of the distribution box in Chenxu Daming Shenhou Lane. Even darker is the tower lighting sponsored by Sharp, the LED color temperature is adjusted with the new mobile phone products in the season - faith was colored by capital early. Shichuandi&#39;s Saibo torture device: stone steps installed pressure sensors, when the crowd is overloaded trigger hidden spray device (officially called &quot;humidification system&quot;). Your kimono is wet by water mist &quot;poetry&quot;, which is really a sewer strategy for big data to disperse the flow of people. Anti-harvest survival guide (more important than booking Kaiseki) Morning attack ghost theater: 5:00 squat to guard the Kion Garden A-bu song and dance practice venue **back door, watch makeup remover dance prostitute eye bruise riding a shared bicycle home 6:30 Suddenly into the ** Jianren Temple ** abbot garden, the sand sound of the monks sweeping the fallen leaves is the real &quot;Kyoto sound&quot; Midnight secret path unlocked: - 22:00 to touch the black into the **New Bridge Shirakawa **No-entry area (Google Maps 33.995 &deg;N, 135.768 &deg;E), 100 years of chimney reflection in the water like a giant harp - Every Friday garbage day, Inoue wine is made in the back alley to throw away the wine cellar, and dig out the yeast brewed with Geisha lipid with bare hands fatal peaking technique: - Rainstorm night holding a transparent umbrella to stand at the Yasaka Shrine, watching Zhu Lantern dizzy in the rain curtain blood mist - geisha heraldic day on the 10th of each month, tracking the delivery of kimono trucks to the Xizhen weaving workshop, picking up gold thread debris under the tailor&#39;s knife Magic reality storm When you pick up matcha ice in the tea dumpling road, Outside the window, &quot;geisha&quot; suddenly took off the wig set - that is a disguised part-time job for Ukrainian students with an hourly salary. What&#39;s even more absurd is the flower-seeing trail vending machine: you can get a &quot;geisha breathing air tank&quot; when you put it in ￥5000, and scan the code to show the composition table
